[Seannny]

hey a friend and i are trying to figure out how to edit a model a specific way.... elmstfred is the one workin on the model. we are trying to make attatchments like... helmet.. torso... greave-like-armor possibley connected to boots. and perhaps gloves. but he cant figure out how to detatch bones or something like that... he uses wc3 model editor... Thanks!

No need to detach bones

If anything, you'll want to add the armor geoset to the model and line it up with the body--then you can copy the way the body is wrapped to the bones and use the bone makeup to automatically animate the attachments.

This is, of course, if you want to make a whole new model. Its much easier to make a simple few pieces of armor and use WC3 attachments on dummy abilities to attain the same effect.

Well I wanna remove stuff off of the footman model, say, the arms. But I wanna keep the body, and if I delete the arms they stretch to the origin making it ugly. So I figured if I detached the bones...
