Help: Attaching models to preexisting unit skeletons

[cfkane]

I'm making a new unit model with Blender and I'm trying to attach it to a preexisting skeleton so I can assign keyframes to it. How would I do this?

The easiest way would be, import a unit/model with the skeleton you want to use, attach your new model to the imported one, then delete the unneeded geometry from the old imported unit. You will probably have to adjust vertex weights to make the right bones affect the right parts of the model.

It's described in a bit more detailed maner in Ekmeks Leaderhead tutorial.
