Here's the steps that I think you would need to do. -Decompile the viewmodels that you want to use -Load the decompiled viewmodels into a 3D program such as XSI or Maya -Modify the viewmodel by changing it's mesh geometry and/or re-texturing it -Create any new animations that are needed (such as reloading or switching weapons) -Export out the new SMDs and animation sequences for the modified viewmodel -Compile your new modified viewmodel -Replace the existing original viewmodel with your new, modified version -Run the game and see how it works
Does anybody see anything I'm missing here? Hope this helps. Idrox Gedrono wrote: > Okay, but that doesn't answer my question: is there a way to change the model > that the arms use?
