H4milton Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Very nice tutorial (^) also, a question, i want to replace a wheel in a car mod from another car mod, should I follow your no 7 tutorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlofnoodle Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Hi Eashan, Yes that is right. All you need to do is merge the file, pick the wheel parts you want to merge, including parent dummy. Then you would just need to move in place. Apply material. Check tut 5 for info on how to merge or import parts from another file. =] Edited April 23, 2013 by bowlofnoodle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
