Ok thanks, I'll look in 010 Editor.
There is no way to do this in Blender?
By the way, as I've updated M2Mod ans import/export plugin, I could give a try at importing more info in Blender, if necessary.

Thanks. But I've got a crash when I try to open the Bloodelf .m2 file.  I use Windows 8.1 x64. I've tried with compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3, same result...

Ok, so here is what I've understand so far:
- I had to copy .anim files to use the BloodElf specific animations instead of the Undead ones.
- but since BE HD is not implemented in WoW 6.0.3, it seems some info is missing, maybe in the DBC, so the animations still explode, even if it looks a bit better.
- so I've tried with Human and there is no more explosion.
Now some few more tests:
- Replacing Male by Female is working, but I had to also copy .bone files (face animation), make some adjustments to the face UV mapping and replace face hair by empty textures.
- LOD still bugs. When you zoom out, the mesh explode a bit. Then if you zoom back in, some mesh problems may occur: loss of eye glow, small cape appearing...
I did not try to edit animations yet.

Hello,
I'm pretty sure it has been asked before, but I can't find the topic.
I've made a mod for Human male to female.
It looks good, but the helmet is too big!
I've managed to change its position by moving the attachment #11.
But how do I change its size? Blender? 010 Editor? DBC?

Thanks! Yes, for animation, that's what I'm trying to figure out.

If you want to swap animations with another model, you can do it with animporter or blender. Thanks! With Blender? How? Wow Model Viewer. Yeah, but with custom HD model I don't think it is possible? The new WMV doesn't take local files, is it? Or I could use a trick to us old WMV by renaming files, but the textures look ugly!

Hello,
I've seen a lot of topics about animations and .mdx files, but I'm a bit confused.
First, many links are brokens and some tools are many year old...
But most important, I did not find a clear tutorial about editing animations?
I have 3 main questions:
- I want to use BE HD model for Undead, it works, but there is a mesh explosion when I sit, eat, read map, etc.
I suppose I have to edit something in the .m2 file? But I don't know what.
- How should I edit existing animations, say dances? I just want to edit the animation.
- Is there a way to preview animations? In Blender or another software?
Thanks in advance.

The 3D View Script isn't working like in your video, everything you have is a lot diferent, you've made a lot of changes and we don't have it Are you sure you have downloaded the zip file recently? I've updated the 4.6.1 with the new scripts, without changing version number.

Hmm... I don't know about wmo stuff.
But here, for the effect above, it is a "fake" reflection, as it uses a specific texture.
In your example, I don't know, I would say that it is the same, so probably, yes, you use this kind of effect for wmo, but I don't know how.
For water, it is the real world reflection, so it is another kind of effect, hard coded, if I've understood well.

I think that if you reduce the number of triangles in Blender, you can put all submeshes. But that is true, you have to sacrifice some triangles somewhere. You may use the decimate modifier, or more powerful Blender tools / addons. https://www.google.com/search?q=blender ... +trianglesEDIT: be careful, in Blender 2.6, decimate seems to reset the UV map, you will probably have problems with textures. In fact, the decimate tool is way more useful in Blender 2.7. So, you can save your .blender file, open it in Blender 2.7, apply decimate, then switch back to Blender 2.6 to export .m2i.

i am trying to port all WOD character models from WOD to Cata - 434 Ok, I'm not sure, but I think there is a limit of triangles before WoD, up to 65536. Did you manage to import some HD models to Cata with all submeshes? For instance, Dwarf Female Old model has 33726 triangles when HD model has 105216. So, if you convert to Old model, you will have 105216 - 65536 = 39680 triangles missing! For some models, it will be barely visible because they have just a few triangles over 65536. BloodElf Female HD has 88728 triangles.
