You need 3d max to do that and probably an image editing program ie; Photo shop, depending on if you need to alter the texture as well. You could down load the trial version of Max and use that (it's not to hard to do)...See the tutorials section.

i already download a 3d max and coral paint shop.. all's left is how to transfer the weapons???:hmmm:

It depends what weapon you want to swap..but the basic principal is the same.

Open a .Cas with the weapon you want in, ie spear, select everything inc the bones but not the spear hit delete, save that as a scene.

Then open the unit your adding the new weapon to, select the primary weapon and delete it.

Then go to file and scroll down to merge, open your saved spear, select it in the pop up and open, another pop up will appear, select use scene material.

If another pops up asking if you want to connect your new primary weapon to the right hand say yes.

Now you just need to make sure your texture has a spear on it (I don't use coral paint so you'll have to find a tutorial for that)..

Now you need to UV map the new weapon, select it and go to modifiers, select unwrap uv maps, on the right hand control panel select the big edit button, A uv mapping window should open, all you need do is place the correct uv section over the correct sections of your texture.

If you need more detailed descriptions for any parts see the tutorials, Prof's video tutorials are very detailed so if you really want to have a crack at 3d modelling dl them..
