Question about replacing a shield from one texture with another.

[Alexmcm13]

So, I want to replace the shield of the Spartan Promachoi unit from Roma Surrectum with the shield from the regular Spartan Hoplite. I have GIMP 2, but I'm unsure how to actually get the shield from the Hoplite into the Promachoi dds. Can anyone help me?

1st you must be sure booth models have same 3d model shape...round shield or longshield,etc...replacing just texture from one to other wont do nothing...

[Alexmcm13]

Both the Hoplite and the Promachoi have hoplons.

[Lü Bu]

than copy part of texture //shield// from one to another and than assign UWV-s in 3d max or other 3d program

[Lü Bu]

you dont need to assign UWV-s if copy-ed part of texture match other one //shield texture exactly over shield texture//...dont forget also to coppy alpha map

[Alexmcm13]

Is there any way I could get someone to do this for me since I have no experience with image manipulating software?

Upload me both of the files.

I will switch you the shields.

I just need the .tga files.

[Alexmcm13]

Here they are. All I really want is the promachoi texture to have the hoplites shield. Don't worry about editing the normal hoplite itself.

The shields don't have same UVmap for a single texture drop to work, so I may do it if you upload the model as well.

[Asgaroth]

Ok, then I can't be of help or Rarity ?

Because I don't know what you just actually said. So this is not the standard procedure ?

[Alexmcm13]

Alright, here are the models for the two units.

Oh nevermind my last post, it was made without sober and was nonsense. Of course a simple texture dropping with photoshop or GIMP would do!

Anyway, here's the edited texture,
