I'm converting an adult outfit to child size and so far I haven't had a problem. Now though, the tutorial I use says to use the Vertex Data Merge plugin in Milkshape to copy the bone assignment data from the child base mesh to my newly resized and fixed adult one. However, when I use it, the adult mesh simply disappears as if it's been deleted. I have to undo the vertex merge to get it back.
What can I do to assign the bones properly on my new mesh, and what am I doing wrong with the vertex data merge? Please help!
