# Grenades Mesh Setup

The first step to adding your own Grenade is preparing and assigning the correct mesh.

Start by selecting any grenade model you want to use. This can be your own asset or one downloaded from external sources. For this example, a weapon model from [Sketchfab](https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/grenade-0e8cc4f14577422d9d2b9d0a2e174680) is used.

## **1. Prepare the Mesh**

### **1.1 Separate the Model**

Your Grenade should be divided into logical parts:

* Base (main weapon body)
* Pin
* Lever&#x20;

If your model is a single mesh:

* Separate these parts in your 3D software (Blender, Maya, etc.)
* Export them as individual meshes

***

### **1.2 Set the Base Mesh Pivot (IMPORTANT)**

The pivot of the **base mesh** must be placed correctly.

* Move the pivot to the **bottom of grenade**
* This ensures:
  * Easier positioning inside Unreal

### **1.3 Other Parts**

* Keep pivots of attachments clean & Centred
* Ensure they align correctly when attached to the base weapon

## **2. Import the Mesh**

* Import your weapon model into Unreal Engine \
  ( Recommended import path = AVR\_Template -> Art -> Create Folder of your weapon name )
* Make sure it includes:
  * Skeletal Mesh & Static Mesh (recommended)
  * Textures and Materials
* All Imported Mesh Should Look like attached Image
