Could someone please swap Arthas' head onto Lord Garithos' body?

Anyone? Come on its pretty simple, I just dont have 3D max.

If anyone could tell me how to geoset merge with Gmax then i could do it myself...

You don't need a modelling program - you can do it with oinkertools...

but it's not that simple - Garithos is hideously complicated - his portrait is doubled up with the main model - there's like a hundred bones, not much is named very accurately

I couldn't be bothered to figure it all out - you can have what I did in case no one helps you out properly....

it all works except for his death - the head disappears! It uses the head from another mesh... I can't be bothered with it...

You can pretend he gets decapitated

(you'll have to add a portrait with mdl editing - in the modelling forum - it's easy - or give it the arthas portrait)

AlexiusC is right, Garithos is a horible model to work with. But I went ahead and did the model too. I fixed it up so that the disapearing head thing isnt an issue, and the head stays in the appropriate spot on his shoulders.

For the portrait I just took the normal Arthas portrait, deleted the body, and geomerged in the garithos upper body.

Its all relatively simple, but slightly time consuming. Hopefully this is what you were looking for.

Wow, thanks a lot!

I didn't realize Garithos' model was difficult sry for any inconvenience. Thx a billion for the model/s

This is a set of modelling programs that work on mdl's! You don't have to have any other program to use them, except Yogbul's File Converter (to convert mdl's to mdx's or back). They are really the best thing that happened to people without a normal modelling program in years.
