Ok so ive been vertex hacking on my own for a while, but im not using 3DS Max (Im using Anim8or) and ive been working a lot on my Gerudo project as you know. Well i wanted to make the arms less "beefy" so i exported the model and vertex ID 0 into the folder (like normal). Then i made the DDV file SUCCESSFUL!y. Id open Anim8or (like normal) and drag and drop the DDV into the Anim8or and an error popped up saying

JUST SO Y'KNOW
error in reading file

  I tried it the next day and it did the same thing. i have NO idea whats wrong. HELP ME \(TT~TT)/

I think that its anim8or, it can't open all vertex hacks, because I have seen Peach vertex hacks and her crown won't open in Anim8or! But I am still not all that sure as to what causes that error. I still use Anim8or for vertexing as of right now, but I will be improving my methods soon, which mean 3DS Max... But Anim8or is a good start for vertex hackers, if you subtract all those errors.

is there anything that can be done to debeef sheiks arms? and i personally dont understand the vertices for sheiks legs. i cant tell whats what XP

Yea, thats what you would refer to as a cloud of vertecies and its extreamly hard to get them done how you want without accidentally grabbing something else and messing it up, thats why I want to step up to 3DS Max, you can actually see what your doing. But the best way to shrink stuff is with the tool on the side that looks like two arrows in a box pointing at each other, select what you want to be shrunk and click that tool and click the arrow keys up, down, left or right, it depends on the angle your viewing it from. Also if you do it from one view i.e. the front view, you will need to do it to the side view also or vise versa.
