Hey all,

I've never done this before, but I'm willing to learn. So what I want to do is take a preexisting weapon and add a silencer to it, I have searched everywhere for tutorials and have come up blank. I know I have to model it in, but that's just about it.

Can someone teach me how to do this, or link me to a tutorial that shows me how to do this? Because I can't find any tutorials that tell me how to take a weapon already there and add to it.

I should have all of the programs for this also. (eg: Gmax, HEK)

Thanks.

I would import the existing model, model the silencer, attach it to the original model, export with the nodes and frames, and replace the original gbxmodel with the new silenced one.

Ok, how do I get the model into Gmax? I have looked through the utilities section of this website and haven't found anything about a weapon model importer.

Sorry, I'm really new to this.

I also just found this model of an already made silencer here:

Would it be easier to use this one or make my own?

I use this.

And yeah, import the weapon model using the gbxmodel importer, and attach the silencer onto the weapon, export with the spheres (nodes and frames), and... yeah.

Ok, I think I got it. Just a few more things.

First off there are no textures on anything, do I need them?

Second, to attach do you just right click and then hit attach, or is there more to it?

Finally how do I export the model? I can only save it as .Gmax files.

Thanks.
