1. Can you update all the pictures in tutorials page 1 ? I cant see anything

2. Would you suggest any software to do this for casual modders ? 3D max is quite expensive for me

So I'm re-importing a helmet I've modified in 2018 max (with the plugin from here https://www.twcenter.net/forums/show...-export-plugin )I've managed to work past some errors from BOB, but this one has me stumped:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

I've created bn_head and bn_neck1 ( I found this was the name of the next bone down in the reference skeleton, bn_neck comes after that- I've also had the same error without 1 at the end) and I've kept the reference skeleton in the file as I found deleting it creates an error. the bones are matched as closely as possible in location to their reference skeleton counterparts.

Does anyone have some insight into what I might be doing wrong?

Is your helmet use skeleton "rome_man_game" ? try to use this file https://yadi.sk/d/Fu7RsEuol84prw . You must go to folder - assembly_kit\raw_data\animations\skeletons , than make back-up vanilla file rome_man_game and put here downloaded file....Please try to do it - maybe it wil be usefull

Error: Miss-matched skeleton reference 'rome_man_game'
Failed.
With this error that file helped me, I made a BODY rigidmodel

Thanks for the file, I appreciate the help! I tried it out, but unfortunately just got a different but similar error:

Texture folder: variantmeshes/_variantmodels/man/helmets/tex

** Processing WARSCAPE::RS_WEIGHTED_V5 **
The following bones have a different translation from the reference skeleton 'rome_man_game' or are missing : bn_spine ; bn_rightupleg ; bn_leftupleg ;
Please see Greg Alston or Chris Waller for more info.
Error: Miss-matched skeleton reference 'rome_man_game'
Failed.

Maybe there's something I'm doing wrong with the rigging?

mmmm, maybe....I am not very strong in modding, but can you sent me your file? I want to try on my computer...There are so many nuances, I learn this theme, aks many questions and people often give good answers ))
