hello guys, i'm completely a newbie but i have patience and interest, i'm not looking for a tutorial, nor requesting someone to do what i've got in mind... i'm just asking wich tool (software) i need for some kind of editing-creation

i've decided to edit one of those models in order to get "mafia" bill, the 1st idea is to put the bill's head on the mafia looking guy... then to attach the model of the hat... permanently on his head
so... is that possible? (i mean in the way i said, keeping the faceposing of bill) and EXACTLY which kind of software i should use?

in that different case i got those kids zombie and i want to get them back to life editing their 3d model (same question for bill... not how to but wich tools?)

sorry if the section isn't correct or the topic isn't nothing new but i really want to enjoy this part of gmod too and i don't know how...

thank you
