Title: [QUESTION] M2 rotation "out-game" (Wotlk)
Post by: Daweo on July 06, 2015, 06:08:47 pm

Hi, everybody.

I am not good at model editing, so I need help from you, Masters of WoW modelling...  :|

My problem is, that I have simple M2 model which I want to spawn ingame, but model as is, is badly rotated. It lies horizontaly and I need it verticaly located...

So, is there easy way to rotate model in m2 file? I need it rotate 90 degrees...

If you speak about orientation of the model, just change it in your 3D model editing program. Every program has a way to change (x,y,z) to (y,x,z) or anything you want. I suggest you to refer to the documentation of your program for more information.
If you speak about movements in animations, there is no easy way, it's probably a bug in whatever tool you use changing values in the quaternions used to describe rotations.

I tried to rotate that model in Blender. But model wasnt valid...

I did it like this:
Extract model and skin (WMV) -> Convert model from m2 to m2i (M2Mod3) -> Import to Blender (M2ModRedux) -> And there my experience ends because of model is not shown in blender after import or model is not valid after rotation in blender... :/
