Yeah, pretty much. But usually where you alpha key, is where you add the team color.

Manipulating the Model: In depth
Manipulating the nodes can be tricky... this, I hope will clear up some confusion.
- First, you want to select the nodes that you want to rotate, translate, or scale. So, click the select button (if it is not already highlighted).
- When selecting the nodes, use the left mouse button to select the nodes you want. If the nodes are close together, select the "Add" button and then you can click on more nodes, without deselecting the others. Similar to "Add", you use "deselect" to click nodes and deselect them from the group. Remeber! Use the left button for all selecting! If you want to deselect all nodes, then select the "Select" button and click away from any nodes.
- When you have the nodes you want selected, choose one of the transformation buttons to do what you want.
- In the above, I selected the whole box and in the top left window, I used the rotate tool and with my mouse I clicked the right button and dragged until the box was shifted onto its pointy side.
- Then, with the selection tool, I selected four of the nodes on top of the box, I then selected the extrude tool. With this, I clicked and dragged with my right mouse button and dragged up so four NEW nodes were made, but they were connected to the original four I selected first. I did this step multiple times to make the sword long, and make the hilt.
- Next, I used the scale ability and I selected the top four nodes that I wanted to be a tip. I scaled this down alot (with the right mouse button), so those go into a point.
- Next I selected two of the nodes on the side of the sword and scaled them in, so the sword is flatter, and not looking like a big box.
- Then, I used a combination of all of these tools and the "Move" tool to make the sword straight and make it look even.
