PLEASE HELP! Editing character M2-models.
(1/3) > >>

Hi!
I'm trying to edit some character models and I have a few questions on this.
The absolute hardest thing to come by is a converter for the M2 files.
That said, I mean I have only found very few that works.
Most of them are unspecific in what Wow-version is required and most of them just doesn't work. (At least with the character models)
I have tried a tool calles just "ModelInjector", which, due to poor description from the author or releaser, after some detective-testing around with different wow-versions, appears to work with M2 models from the 2.4.3 client. This tool gives me a Nightmare of geosets jammed stuck all over the model, and it's a pain in the @$$ to use.
Currently, I'm using TP's HiResModelTool 3.5, trying to edit models for the 3.2.2a client.
This is the only option I have found that makes the different geosets "hideable" in model editing softwares.
I'm going to describe my current modeling process with a little depth, but if you want to cut straight to the case then please scroll down to the ### markings.
What I do is I disable all options in the TP HiResModelTool to get a clean obj-convertion to work with in 3ds max 2010, edit the model, export to obj and convert back to M2 with the TP HiResTool.
My issue is that this doesn't work about 90% of the times.
Often, I edit the model-OBJ in 3ds and I can't inject it in the M2 with the HiResModelTool.
It either freezes upon reading verticles from the obj, or tells me that the OBJ and the M2 differs in numbers of verticles.. in other words, the injection fails and the operation is canceled. (Note: I don't add verticles to the model, it's just bullshit from TP HiResModelTool)
As when trying to edit the Tauren Male Model, I end up with a funky OBJ-file with random verticles going everywhere in a 3ds chaos. In theese cases, the freshly M2-converted OBJ file cannot get converted back to M2, because the file is messed up.
###
My question is this: What tools are the absolute best ones to use when editing the character models for WoW???
If theese tools demand a different version of Wow than my current 3.2.2a, then which version should I have to make model-editing to actually work??
PLEASE, help me with this!!
Note: You might find this post also on ownedcore.com since Ive posted this question there prevously.

MdlVis doesn't seem to work for me, but I got a few scripts and then blender did...Excelent!
I was kinda hoping to do this in 3ds Max though.
^^
Anyway, you just made my day!
Steff:
You need to use an 2.4.3 model as source for MDLvis. Dont work with 335.
