lol they should really make such a film

Haha, nice video. Even though I hate developing in Java with all my heart. ^^
But I think when it comes to programming languages we will never find one that everybody likes.
I for example love C#. Mainly because it's so nice and easy to read and got an awesome ide. C++ and Obj-C with all their asterisks and arrows and stuff always look so... chaotic to me. XD
But it's just a matter of taste.

same here

I wrote a little program in C++ that displays a 3D model from WoW (M2 models) with OpenGL, but only without textures...
I can give you the source code (supposing that I find it lol), if you're interested

No. this script. it loads all

I don't think that would work with Wotlk M2s... it says Starcraft 2 M3...
I'll test it anyway and I'll analise the code... It will surely help thanks!

Actually, I'm not sure about it being LOD. It should be though.

Animation blocks are documented at the top. Also, they all have the same size except for what they point to.

I found they are 20 bytes long... add it to the wiki please

UPDATE:
Added attachments import.
64-bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?xd5rlw2qq47b459
32-bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?a7d583swh3jg3db

They will be shown as little cubes (0.1 size) and the name changes depending on the id...
They aren't linked to their bone yet since there are no bones at the moment xD

I found some interesting things using it
for example the bloodelf male has 2 demolishervehicle attachments in his left hand xD
attachments IDs 9 and 10 might be related to HipSheath or somehing to do with waist... who knows?
also I noticed that the importer found some duplicate attachments... I mean 2 or more attachments with the same ID... is it normal?? how can WoW recognise the difference?

in addition, I didnt know that character models contained all the models for shirts, boots, gloves, cloaks, leggings and kilts, all the hair styles... they're all together.. I guess they are registered in the Submeshes block and when they're not needed WoW applies a completely transparent texture...


Another thing I noticed is that attachment position is NOT relative to the bone pivot as stated in the wiki.. it is linked with that bone and shares its rotation and translation but the position is absolute not relative...

why writing a importer/exporter plugin for a closed source program?
make a plugin for an opensource program and release source code, a lot of people may be interesting to the project and help you to development

because I've always used 3ds max and gmax.... I tried to learn blender what it was too difficult xD

I was wondering how to do this yesterday... I added the combination undead/druid and everything works fine, but I wanted to reskin the forms without changing tauren's ones... in spell.dbc there's nothing, but you say there's a Spell Shapeshift DBC so... I'll check

anyone can port models... could you make your own model? or you dont have imagination?

well, I just wanted that weapon in WoW.... And I modeled it on my own, it isn't just a porting...
but ok, I'll make something different

Isnt that the plant from the old outlands?
Still : lookin good

It probably is And thanks!
