I've been playing around with MD5 models lately and have gotten to the point where I'm attempting to attach additional models to a base, such as weapons/head/etc. I'm having some trouble getting the orientation and positioning right and was wondering if maybe there was a weird offset or something? Currently I take the position and orientation of the joint I'm attaching the model to and apply this to the attached model. However, it comes out looking like this: [image removed] Anyone have any ideas? I can post code, but I was hoping to avoid struggling with finding the possible relevant bits (if I knew what was relevant.. I might be able to figure it myself :P) Thanks in advance. Edit: Resolved.

I believe the way to go about it (the way I do it), would be to use the attachment bone as the root bone of the model you wish to attach.

You say use the bone, opposed to the joint? Doing the transformation to the parent joints position/orientation is basically using it as the root for the attached model (any movements attempted by animations to move the root joint are actually disabled now).
