* Click and drag the object on top of the original object's Armature (the one with the orange upside-down triangle next to it), while holding shift and alt. This will assign the object to that armature, instead. Then, select the object in Object mode, go to the Modifiers tab (which looks like a diagonal wrench, in the bottom right area), click on the box next to Object, and select the armature of the original model. | * Click and drag the object on top of the original object's Armature (the one with the orange upside-down triangle next to it), while holding shift and alt.

* Select your object in Object mode. In the bottom right, click on the upside-down green triangle. If there is anything in the Vertex Groups tab, delete it all with the - button. Then, Ctrl+click the original object that most closely matches its location. Go into Weight Paint mode, click on the Weights button in the top left, and select Transfer Weights. In the bottom left, expand the new small tab there, if it is not already. For Vertex Mapping, select Nearest Face Interpolated.

After applying the rig onto an object, set the limit for the number of bones to affect each vertex to 4. In 3ds Max, you can do this by scrolling the modifier rollout on the right side down to the bottom, expanding Advanced Parameters, and setting the number in the Bone Affect Limit box. In Blender, you can do it with the Limit Total option, found right under the Transfer Weights option described earlier. Other programs will have different ways of setting this limit. | After applying the rig onto an object, set the limit for the number of bones to affect each vertex to 4.

If you get the model into the game and the animations deform the model in strange ways, you'll need to come back and manually adjust the rigging, which is a very time-consuming process, documented in a number of excellent tutorials on YouTube. | If you get the model into the game and the animations deform the model in strange ways, you'll need to come back and manually adjust the rigging, which is a very time-consuming process, documented in a number of excellent tutorials on YouTube. | ||
