changing the shield to mainhand?

Hey,

I was wondering how I could easily change the model of an attachment shield the way that it will work proparly on both arms. Currently my unit uses his weapon in it's left hand (cause that's his fight animation) and in the right hand I can't put the shields cause they look turned.

Is there anyone who can help me with changing the side of the shield/ tell me where I can find shield attachment models that work on the righthand?

My best regards,

Look for a tutorial on editing it yourself - all you'll have to do is rotate the whole thing 180 degrees.

Thing is, I know nothing and I'm trying to act smart :/

I'm pretty sure there's a tutorial about basic model editing somewhere on this site...

No thanks needed xD (no work involved). I hope that tutorial has some use though.

On another point: "blender" is a free model editing program, if you need one (google it)

I imagine rotating a simple shield model should be easy enough with Mago's Model Editor.

if you meant making it so you could equip the same model to either hand you going to have to change the guy, not the shield.

the guy can wear items in both hands since i already tested 1 shield i found for both hands on em, and it worked fine :)
