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 and 2 the reference to the textures and texturelookup are no longer valid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 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...
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...

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:

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.
