Model without weapon

[Big_Bret]

Hello,
I'm new to mapping, and I am trying to remove weapons and shields from some units (i.e. Spellbreaker, Footman). I can't seem to find a program that would let me remove them, and then save the model without them. If you could help me with my problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Yes you can. There are all kinds of modeling programs for Mac. Off the top of my head, I can think of Maya, Blender, and I think Lightwave, though I'm not sure. The only problem would be converting the file types.

Removing a weapon would be tricky, since the weapon is a part of hte model just like the head is. If you just deleted the sword from a Footman, say, he'd still be holding his arm out as if he were holding a sword, and the hand might not be fully modeled. It would be possible, though, just not easy.

Basically, what I would like to do is take a unit, make it an hero, change color and skin, and remove his old weapon to add a new one (using ability menu). The unit would be more unique. Like a spellbreaker with a sword, or a footman with an axe, something like that. I will try to download the program in the model tutorial and see if that work.

Thanks
