Adjusting the Mesh Using Blender

If the custom model has its own skeleton, then you can sometimes make better adjustments to fit the custom mesh to the original survivor mesh than if there weren't a skeleton.

Adjusting Custom Mesh Using Its Rigging

Step 1 - Pose the Mesh

1. Move the custom model's mesh with its own skeleton using Pose Mode.

Step 2 - Apply Armature Modifier

1. In Mesh's Modifier panel, in Armature Modifier, click Apply button. (Makes the mesh stay with the skeleton and makes the modifier disappear.)

Step 3 - Apply Pose as Rest Pose

1. Select the skeleton pose.
2. Select: Pose Mode
3. Select: Pose > Apply > Apply Pose as Rest Pose

Step 4 - Add Armature Modifier

1. In Mesh's Modifier panel, select: Deform > Armature

Step 5 - Edit Armature Modifier

1. Click the Object field.
2. Select the armature from the list.

Note that the vertex groups and their weights are separate from armature and stay unchanged.
