Nice! Want a quick tour of this page too?

Look, if you "reset" the scale, there's a RESET-XFORM function in 3D Max specifically for resetting the scale... and you don't even need to touch the global (root) transform, right?))
P.S. So, 20,000 polygons are possible... that's awesome...
P.P.S. 250 bones???? Why so many? If it's a "human" model, 50-60 is more than enough... add another 50 for a rider, let's say, 120... then add 30 for the wings, for example... I don't know... 250 is just not possible for me )))))))))))
In reality, some kind of glitch might occur after resetting the X-form, or it might not. You need to look at each specific situation. As I mentioned in the guide, I suggested an intermediate export-import to SMD. And at this stage, something similar to resetting the X-form also happens (only even more "resetting")).
Well, I'm currently importing an Orc from Heroes 6, and it has 80 bones. The rider from Heroes 7 has about 150 bones (there's also a mane, tail, a tail on the helmet, and all that).
In Heroes 5, the Knight hero has a lot of bones because there's a horse, a saddle blanket, and a flag (one flag seems to take up 30-40 bones), a cloak, a squire, and the squire has some kind of cape and a small flag on his lance. I think that's where the 250 bones come from, and I need to add a few more and combine different versions (for example, Duncan's horse has mane bones).
Actually, some issues might arise after a reset of the X-form, or they might not. It depends on the specific situation. As I mentioned in the guide, an intermediate export-import to SMD can be helpful. And at this stage, something similar to a reset of the X-form also occurs (only even more so).
For example, I'm currently importing an Orc from Heroes 6, which has 80 bones. A rider from Heroes 7 has around 150 bones (including the mane, tail, and tail on the helmet).
In Heroes 5, the Knight hero has a lot of bones because there's the horse, saddle blanket, and flag (one flag seems to consume around 30-40 bones), as well as a cloak, squire, and a small flag on the squire's pole. I think it adds up to around 250, and I need to add a few more and combine different versions (for example, Duncan's horse has bones for the mane).
By the way, here's a basic skeleton from UE5 for comparison.

It's not very clear, and does the flag's pole also have a lot of bones? I think you could remove one branch from the flag itself; it would be rougher, but not by much...
There are also two more ribbons on the flag, if you remember. And it seems like the rings and the eagle are also placed on separate bones for some reason.
Well, why remove them? If everything works fine as it is, why make it even simpler than it was in the original game?
There are two more stripes on the flag, if you remember.
Well, I mean, why delete it? If everything works fine anyway, why make it even simpler than it was in the original game?
Well, it's basically a dummy, like a robot))) the clothes don't seem to be animated separately))) but for the body, it's perfectly fine.
No, I don't remember, I haven't played in a long time)))
So, deleting - to free up space for other bones, to fit within 250?
yes, of course) it just creates a funny comparison)

I'm not sure if we need to stick to 250. This limit still needs to be checked. But if that doesn't work, there are other options. The model can be divided into two parts, and one can be added as an effect.
for example, a squire.
I think it will work, but it needs to be tested.
