Shao_X Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I've seen a few really accurate attempts at taking the head off a model such as Luke Skywalker or Han Solo and putting it on another body like the Stormtrooper. I'm interested in creating a sort of trooper-model by taking the head off one model and placing it on the armoured body of another and I was wondering about the steps and tools I would need to take in order to achieve that. I hope I was clear, and thanks in advance for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyk0Sith Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 First things first: Get 3D studio max 4.x, 5 or 6, then install the modding tools and get .glm importer for max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro_obi Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi Psyk0Sith, I want to do a similar project. I've already made the "new" model but I've no idea what to do next. Can you help me? Here's a screenshot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyk0Sith Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Are u using 3D max?, that looks like milkshape to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro_obi Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I used Milkshape. But I made the 3ds file and exported it into 3dsmax 4. So, what do I have to do now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyk0Sith Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Get ready for some reading Here's my website, which contains a few tutorials by myself and other modders. Read everything especially the weighting tutorial. I also recorded 2 video captures (not really in-depth tutorials) but might also help. 1st one can be found on website. Here's the 2nd one (not JA related but a quick example on manual weighting): http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/269783 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
