A question for oink pros!

I have just started using the geomerge and vertex edit tools. I have been fairly successful at moving stuff from one place to the other, however I cant see how I can do the following:

Copy the geoset points from one geoset to the other. This is more that adding an existing geoset from one model to the other I want to merge 2 geosets into one. If anyone knows how using oinks tools or any other way please let me know.

Thanks

Can't be done with the oinkertools, I'm afraid. Can be done by taking it all into Milkshape, jiggling it, exporting and grafting, but if you're a bit new then that's a hard process.

I do remember hearing something a while ago about a tool that merged geosets together, but I don't know if anything came of it.

Perhaps we can offer an alternative if you detail the scenario.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the 'Merge Geoset' option in the Vertexmodifier should be able to do this. It can be found under 'File > Merge Geoset'. I just tried merging 2 random geosets into 1 with it, turned out fine.

Also, Gmax can handle this quite easily as well and it's also free.

Correct, but the merged geoset follow only one bone, and you can't select wich. It works fine for doodads and such, but not for characters models; I'm not sure this is the case or not.

Not entirely true. Vertex modifier does have vertex group and matrix creation tools, but I've never investigated them fully.
