Guys, good news, here is the script, it has been adapted to support all the m2 creatures and models

NOTE: it does not import character models like bloodelf, orc, ... etc, don't know why, not finding the issue either, not sure it ever imported them anyways...

(probably need to wait for it to be approved tho)

Enjoy

on another matter... people have been asking me to update my m2 import script... little note on that. I don't have a m2 import script, it is this guy Nintoxicated ( or somthing) who wrote it a long time ago.

On that matter, it no longer imports models from Legion ... that be the original one I mean.

So I finally decided to debug it and check what was wrong, after a weekend of almost rewriting the whole import model, I found the issues.

1 is that the format MD21 has an addition 8 bytes to read when reading offsets. and 2 the reference to the textures and texturelookup are no longer valid

So after fixing this, it can import m2 models again, well that is the one model I tried,  so I need to do some additional import tests. And maybe figure out a way to re-implement the textures stuff.

So I'll keep you guys posted once it is ready

OH....

You mean make your own texture for a custom dark templar model ?

That is of course possible. 2 ways

1. Handpainting the texture, useally ppl do this by using a polypaint program like 3D Coat

2. Sculpting, baking and coloring using Mudbox or zBrush

Time to complete, a days /weeks depending how good you are with the programs

I use Mudbox to sculpt, xNormal to bake and Photoshop to apply the colors and details.

Here is what I did for his shoulder armor

this is the original Proudmoore sigil made back in 95

this is my remake:

And this is the tiff image used to sculpt the shoulder pads

and this is the result, after backing out the textures and applying some color magic:

Boots and shoulder decoration are sculped

@yourarthas, which one you had in mind :D

btw, I'm currently working on Admiral Proudmoore

:D

Thnx man, will do!

So I found out that there is a 8 bit shift in the version between MD20 and MD21 ... but I need to implement that EVERYWHERE... this could take a while...

T.

Mmm, I see that the error is produced when the header does not read MD20, and the model is probably MD21....

If I got the time, I'll see what I can do, not promising anything tho.

T.

Hey, just to be on the "clear" side, the m2 import script is not mine. I altered it the last time so it would work with Warlords Of Draenor, but I haven't checked out the new Legion models.

They probably added some stuff, so there is a mis-read byte or something...

He's finished!

You can get him from my assets
