<blockquote>Summary: Apply the rig from the original object(s) to your object(s). Set maximum limit for bones to affect vertices to the object's skin count.</blockquote>For 3ds Max: Select the original object's Skin modifier in the modifier list, then copy it. Select your object, then paste the rig onto it. If all has gone well, you're done with this step. 3ds Max uses one or more of a series of algorithms to map the rig of one object onto the rig of another object automatically, and it's generally pretty good about it. | <blockquote>Summary: Apply the rig from the original object(s) to your object(s).

* 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. | |||

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. For Source Layers Selection, select By Name. For Destination Layers Matching, select All Layers. | ||

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.

====My eyes are in the model's head, but they aren't in game!==== | ====My eyes are in the model's head, but they aren't in game!==== | ||
Splitting the eyes into two different objects may help to fix this. If not... | |||
Eyes are very strange. Link's original eyes are placed correctly, but exporting them will cause them to be placed incorrectly in any 3d modeling program, and reimporting unchanged eyes will cause them to appear in a different place. However, the game will load them as if they were in the correct place. It is generally not advised to move the eyes unless absolutely necessary, as there is no single way to make them work consistently. | |||
