Same model, multiple skins

How do I use the same model, and still apply different skins to the model.

I have an idea on how to do it, but I dont know how.

Copy the original .mdx, change its name, import it, and import the skin on it.

How do i do this? I followed a tutorial on some other warcraft modding site, but it was a RoC tutorial, and it didnt have an importer, so i didnt know what the hell it was talking about. Anyone have any ideas?

Extract your model from war3(x).mpq, convert to to MDL, change the skin path specified near the beginning to point to the new skin's path, convert back to MDX, and import using the import manager.

ok thanks. the tutorial was something like that but it was extra steps because it was RoC, so it was confusion.

Just for clarification: Say my skin is called demonguy.blp (a demon looking male villager)

Would i change the units path in the .MDL to:
units\critters\villagerman\demonguy.blp

or something like that?

plz use my demon guy thingy to make an example, or just let me know if im right
