Well, you can do it without studio max. Just edit the weapon out of the blp with alpha channels. You'll just need Warcraft 3 viewer, which you use to convert the blp to editable form (check the dowload section for Warcraft 3 viewer) and Photoshop or Paint shop to edit the skin. And here you can find Draco's tutorial to alpha channel editing.

If you don't get the portait working, try alphaing the weapon out instead using the edited model. Hope this helps. ;)

wait...what do you see in the interface? ill have to try to implement the model...and see for myself. if the portriait shows up weird, you can change it to the blood elf's portrait easily. ill be back shortly.

ok...i implemented it this morning. i know whats wrong.heres what to do. open winMPQ and search (in the war3x.mpq file) for the bloodmage's portrai. something like "Herobloodmage_portrait." then import it into your map, then rename it as "ElfBlademaster_portrait.mdx. i think thats how you do it. ive never tried it before...

gl anyways. ill give it a try myself

EDIT: ok heres what ur supposed to enter...leave the "war3imported" and after the slash, type (w/o the wuotes) "ElfBlademaster no sword_portrait.mdx"

that should do it...

just open the war3x.MPQ instead of the war3.MPQ. then u'll get the frozen throne listfile (remember to select the mdx file extension) it doesnt matter which version of mpq viewer you have ^_^

and i hope u enjoyed the model...it was my first geoset edit for someone else :D
