How to Mod Back 4 Blood - Part 5: Model Changes (Note: Difficult)
18Finally, a part 5 to our B4B modding tutorial is upon us. It is the longest for a reason, and that is because it is the most difficult. I would recommend getting comfortable with a 3D modeling software such as Blender (which is free) before attempting anything too complex using this method.
Also, I haven't yet done a true model swap - this is just for model editing. I plan to make another tutorial in the future for model mods that involve changing model textures since editing the model without editing the UVs will result in a weirdly stretched texture. I will be building off of this, though. Might streamline it with some more custom tools.
