CAN you use blender to make models for W3 or am i doomed to leaning a new program?

[waveseeker]

I have been getting blender down for the past few weeks, and i have decided to use it to make 3d models, then on the forums, i read that you should use gmax or, milkshake or whatever it is, I have tried to learn gmax, it's just so different from blender, as if a cyclist tried to drive a race car without knowing anything about auto-mobiles.

Do i need to learn it? Is there some kind of program i can just use? Just a simple import into this, as this type of file, then export into this, as this type of file.


If this question has already been asked, and i overlooked it, or if there is a tutorial for this or anything. Please let me know.

You could probably use blender to create your models, and then import them into milkshape and then export them into the War3 format.

Here's a list of file formats that Milkshape supports:

"name" "Import" "Export"



"Warcraft III MDX Yes No"



So, yeah, that one wont let me export them into w3,

You can use Magos Model editor to import a Milkshape .ms3d and export a .mdx.

It's kind of a round-about way of converting a Blender file into a War3 file, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Yeah, That would work fine if Milkshape didn't cost money... and i don't Pirate, so, any other ideas?

You can't save with the 30 days test version.
