how can i choose a portrait for a certain model?

like if i have a dragon model, and i want to make the default dragon portrait to my model...so how would i make it?

or if i have a werewolf model, and i want a peasant portrait for him, how would i do it?

any help appreciated

The portrait is chosen in two ways:

Units\Bacon\Bacon.mdx
Units\Bacon\Bacon_Portrait.mdx

If the path there is found not to exist, the game will fall back: using a camera object contained in Bacon.mdx.

So if you want Bacon.mdx to have the peasant's portrait, you have to:

a) import him over the original peasant model's path, so he becomes:
Units\Human\Peasant\Peasant.mdx and hijacks
Units\Human\Peasant\Peasant_Portrait.mdx OR

b) export the peasant portrait, and import it as
Units\Bacon\Bacon_Portrait.mdx so it hooks onto the first path.
