Making Heavy Arms

TheFrag

<div class="IPBDescription">Are there any guides?</div> Well, I am trying to make havy arms for one of my models, an lmg to be specific. SO, I import the original heavy arms LMG, delete the lmg, import my lmg, and assign bone 02 to it, like it was to the othe rmodel. Now, I always get this stuff when I try to ocmpil eit in Milkshape

Do I have to rename the bone that the first bone has to the refernce?
Are there any guides for this? I always imagined thi sbeing just like doing the same thing to male P models, but apparently I am wrong.
Thanks for anyhelp.

i cant really help all that much, except in stating that something changed. its saying that bones 24, 25, 01, and 54 are different in the animations from the reference file. ive never done this kind of replacement, but if possible, i would export the ref file, and the animation smds using the same skeleton.

Why do you assign the LMG only to bone 02? There are several gun bones, and you have to make sure all of them have some vertices assigned to them.

If you don't have enough moving parts for all the joints, make floating out of view boxes and assign them to that joint.

TheFrag

I assigned bone 02 to the whole gun and then the other joints tha tneeded assigning to vertices of the gun... Oh wait, that was a dumb idea, huh?

TheFrag

I refuse to give up, Im sure somebody knows.
