Model Part Changing?

Is it possible to change the body (without the head) of the comguy_1 with the generic_male_6s body?

http://wiki.oni2.net/AE:Importing_character_models

Notice the section on Bastardizing, which is what you're asking about.

Sorry but i don't have blender, can't it be done in OUP?

Hmm? Aren't you a Windows user? Because XSI Modding Tool is the tool of choice for Windoze, as the wiki mentions.

There download server is not letting people download untill next year.
That Bastardizing part is not that detailed, atleast i did'nt understand anything.

Rexxar: when you extract a character from Oni as a DAE format, you get a 3D model that is made up of 19 body parts. Each part is connected to another part. ie: foot -> calf -> thigh -> pelvis The foot is considered the child of the calf, the calf is the child of the thigh and so on.

To Bastardize, you are replacing one body part or parts with another. You will do this in a 3D program. But as you replace one part, you have to re-establish the parent-child relationship between the parts, this is also done within the 3D program.

It will be easier to understand once you look at the model with a 3D program.

And part of the reason the wiki page is lacking in detail is that the writer (geyser) couldn't tell you how to do anything in your program since it varies from app to app, so he could only say "re-parent", counting on the reader to know/learn what that meant and how to do it.

I do, however, aim to have some tutorials on the wiki, one for each app that we use, explaining only the functions that we use in modding. Sort of a quick-and-dirty intro to the tool that only helps an Oni modder. The one on Blender is partway done but I didn't feel qualified to write one for Mod Tool. Anyway, it's no rush, Rexxar, if you have to wait until early January to d/l Mod Tool. Just grab it whenever it comes up, it probably won't be long.

Well, now that I'v acquired the MSI Modding Tool with the latest updates, and extracted all ONCC into .dae files, i would like to know how to do the thing right. I'm looking at some of the models right now, and i have absolutly no idea how to do anything in this program.

mm same here I can't understand a thing form the application ... are there tutorials for XSI mod tool, like Iritscen said.

I don't know how to re-parent or copy paste the head of 1 character to another ...can someone write a little detailed (like really detailed ) tutorial how to do that ? whenever I import 2 characters in XSI they merge into one or something :S and in blender they just don't merge at all ... and exactly how do u make the character show up in a standing not overlapping pose ...

I've read the oni galore too but it wasn't enough ...
