Modeling problem

Im very new to modeling and only use notpad/oinkerwinkles(spelling?) tools. While working in the vertex modifier i copied some horns and placed them in certain places like shown in the picture below.




But when animations play the horns seem to move around in all kinda of weird ways.


Pretty much im wondering how i pretty much stick those on his head and make them follow his head and id like to do it useing the vertex modifier if thats possible. If not please give tips on what i could use.

To get that to work you would have to geomerge the horns onto his head using Oinkerwinkle's geoset merger found here. This way you can attach them onto the head bone, instead of some random bone which they are attached to if you copy in stuff using the vertex modifier.

Well after I finish the model ima skin him into a dark knight for my friends map. It should come out quite well. I have some work on wc3sear you can look at if you havent seen my work before. My account name on there is EzekieL.

Sorry to double post but i have anothe problem. I cant get textures for the geomerged pieces on the model. Take a look. I read the tutorial under geomerging at oinkerwinkles but when i extract textures i get the same unwrap as normal Beastmaster.

Wait, do you want the things you geomerged on to use ingame textures, or use custom ones? If you explain a little further I can help you. Also if you have msn pm or tell me your email so I can add you and help you there.
