13. Now we write car file. Called it model.car.

This file contents:

$aseanimgrabinit
$aseanimgrab_gla models/players/_humanoid/_humanoid.gla
$aseanimgrabfinalize
$aseanimconvertmdx_noask models/players/yourmodel/root –makeskin -losedupverts

You must install SDK Otcast before it. Paste _humanoid folder with GLA and CFG files from assets0.pk3 to SDK /base/models/players folder
Then create base/models/players/yourmodel/ folder
And paste to this folder model.car and root.xsi

14. Open model.car file by carcass.exe and receive GLM file. Then write model_default.skin file, pack to pk3, copy to base and viola
