Hi

[Bladegrasp1997]

Hello, long time fan of the game here and interested in making my own custom campaigns. The main reason I joined was the Curse of the Forsaken campaign videos. In the first mission there is a custom 3d animated menu with Sylvanas sitting in a chair.

Is there a tutorial for editing the original 3d menu backgrounds?

Hello and welcome to the Hive. This thread here just got moved to the World Editor Help Zone because of its content.

And yes you can change the campaign screen of your custom campaign - check here to see how: Making a Basic Campaign

Check the General Mapping Tutorials for more tutorials like this. You can see all of our tutorial sections here: WarCraft III Tutorials

I followed the tutorial on importing models using NeoDex 2.7 but have ran into a problem. When I import the model there is no texture. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Got it. Its a simple scene but I think it will work. It has the blademaster stand animation in front of two barracks. I looked but could not find a tutorial on how to export a scene for a loading screen. Does one exist or is it the same as exporting a custom model back into the game?

I followed this tutorial Animated Loading Screens to the letter and every time got the same result. I even tried using a regular model from the game to simplify things and still came up with the same results.

Does anyone know why the screen keeps coming up black?

Is it the right file (Image/Textures).

I don't really understand what you're asking. Are you trying to make a loading screen that changes between different textures (aka animated loading screen) or a 3d campaign menu background? If it's the latter, you might need to add a light source to the model, since all standard campaign menu backgrounds have several omnilights.

By the way, "Hi" is not an informative subject title for your thread. Also, two of your images in the first post are broken.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm trying to make a 3d campaign menu. I didn't know how to properly post images when i made this post hence the broken images. The reason for the "Hi" subject title was because I originally posted this in the introduction thread and it was moved to this section. Is there an in depth tutorial for making a 3d campaign menu? If there is would you please post a link to it? I tried to find one but the animated menu was the only tutorial that seemed to be what i had in mind. I would like to be able to do both but my main goal is the 3d campaign menu. I'm not sure what omnilights are. Do they come attached to the model when imported to another model editing program? If so I may have deleted them when I was editing the model. Thanks again

I don't think so, but are you sure you even need one? They don't really seem that different from any other model, besides being spacious and a bit more detailed.

The tutorial you linked shows you how to make simple loading screens with animated textures. As you probably already know, those loading screens are used for individual maps and are not the same thing as campaign menu background models.

I'm not sure what omnilights are.

Omnidirectional lights (aka omnilights) are objects within models, that, as their name indicates, cause the model to illuminate nearby objects and terrain. You can create/edit/delete them with War3 Model Editor.

I'll try it again, thanks.
