Title: [QUESTION] Animating Character Models
Post by: Seforion Lionheart on March 29, 2014, 10:33:43 pm

Hello,
I'm new into this WoW modding scene and since I wanted to change specific animations for Playable Character models I wanted to ask which tool I actually need?

I already checked abit the forum and found a thread about it where someone had the same question but since I didn't wanted to necro-post it I created this one.

One of the mods(?) phucko1 posted there this:
"This is extremely hard, the only way is by using MDXTOM2 and MDLVIS and possibly Animporter couse converting a full character model with MDXTOM2 is just to hard."

So if I'm right I need this tools:

MDXtoM2
- First question about this tool where can I get it?
- Does it work with 3DS Max 2011?
- Can it convert from M2 to MDX(WC3 file format?) and back to M2?

MDLVIS
- That's the russian Animation tool for WC3 right?

Animporter
- What's the actual use of it and how can I get it?

I believe I've seen your name around on WCUnderground.
PM me your skype if you have one and I can explain it to you better than the tutorial.

Edit:
Also I'm not a mod, the moderators have Green Text and some of them have purple.
Blue and Orange = Contributors and Advanced Modders.

Please phucko01, may you explain it in a post here or share that tutorial you are talking about?

Some people (like me) have the same questions Seforion Lionheart has and it will help new incomers.

Thank you.

Just go to the tutorial section, and should've found it.

Also a good way to contribute to this community would be tl rework a tutorial if you just did it to make it better to understand for others. If you are new to this you habe a better view what needs to get descriped better.
