Please read more carefully what I posted.
First you make the model in milkshape and you give to that model the shape you want.
Then you make the texture files.
I thought it would/should be self-evident that you use some image manipulation software like photoshop or GIMP in order to manipulate 2D image files.
Crop the part of the ERE
texture file that is the sword you want, then paste it on the
attachments file of the unit you want to modify.
Then re-arrange the UV map fot that piece.
Have you downloaded Alletun's Tome of Knowledge?
At the time I am typing this 20,904 people have downloaded this document.
If you are not one of them then
click here in order to be #20,905.
Please read
ALL of it.
We all (except Alletun) started there.
All the tutorials and all the tools and all the resources were made for people like you and me.
Use them.
God wants you to use them.
Jesus wants you to use them.
Muhammad wants you to use them.
Budda wants you to use them.
(Am I forgatting anyone?)
The people who made them want you to use them.
I want you to use them.
Bottom line if you respect none of the above just use them because you love and respect your own self and your efforts and time are of great value to you.
I hope you forgive my tone but I really want to help people and I make the assumption that they also want to help themselves.
