Hero replacer.

upd: By the way, Nazir can smoke through a hole in his mask) he somehow drinks and eats in the desert) and in general, there is no animation of calmness without smoking. Perhaps there should be a way to cut the animation, but I haven't figured out how.
upd2: I adjusted the color scheme of Ory's elephant, the changes are in the screenshot. I don't want to touch Nyurka, I like how she turned out.

I thought he was taking off his mask)

You can, of course, fix this flaw in another way, but it's too much trouble, and I think it's easier to come to terms with it.
Ory seems to have improved.

finally, I would install 3D Max)

I advise you to install it somehow.
There is a topic nearby with a guide on importing a model from 7 into 5. You can quickly learn the basics of Max from it.
Believe me, it's not more difficult than what you're doing now.
