[QUESTION] Custom .M2 invisible

[jbr373]

Good Afternoon I tried to port a Tree from TESV Skyrim to WoW, I managed to export it to Obj and then Convert it to M2, but the Model is invisible! Strangely enough, the Model has Collission (thats how I knew it was actually ingame), Textures are 1024*512 for the Trunk and 512*512 for the Branches.

I followed User amiroperator's Tutorial and use Blender 2.68, like he does in his Video... I also searched and tried Blender 2.6 with recommended Settings as well as Blender 2.69
Could anyone please tell me what causes this? Model works fine in Blender...

Probably missing Geosetanim 0:1 for your geosets, without it the models does not show up graphically.

I need 010 Editor and the WotLK .M2 template to add that, right? Have you or someone else a workin tutorial or link vor that? The 010 M2 Template download link isn't working for me, it says "invalid file" when I try to download it...

I convert .Nif to Obj, then Obj to M2 with Garthog's OBJtoM2 converter.

Edit: Nevermind I manged to get the 010 Templates after many retries

Edit2: The Model has neither the Geoset Name+Value nor any attached textures, even though I added them in Blender and changed them from "Material_" to the filename without .blp extension? Could something have gone wrong when converting the .Obj to .M2?

try change material flags by using m2modder, somebody here talked about textrures, that must be square like 512x512

Could you please explain that a bit more? At the Moment it reads "hardcoded" like on other tree models made by blizzard, i checked also for Geosetanim again, still coudn't find it...
Textures with 512*512 as well as 256*256 makes no difference, still invisible with collission.
The problem is, the Model uses 2 Textures, and the Tutorials I found only deal with one Model with one texture. I can easily select the Trunk and the Branches in Blender (Both can be selected with a right click, no big deal).
When I write the Textures with M2Modder or 010 Editor, nothing changes
Sorry for having me walk through this, but could it be a problem with the assigning of the Textures to the Model Parts?
