How Long?

[wingednosering]

So...any guesses as to how long we'll need to wait for conversion tools and such for modelling in SC2? Things like Magos' Model Editor are incredibly helpful for Warcraft, but I'm guessing Starcraft will use all new file types/extensions.

And yes, I realize the game isn't out yet. But are we gonna have tools in weeks or months? Also, does anybody think it will be at all possible for conversion tools to be developed to turn mdx files into whatever Starcraft II uses? I'm wondering if it's possible to start work on Starcraft models now, but all my tools are free, downloaded, mdl editing only programs.

Maybe you'll have to wait a few months, that totally depends on the community tho, if you're lucky you might have one in a few weeks instead.

Who knows? ^^

Im pretty sure MS3D users will have someone willing to create an exporter.
