Idea: Item Maker

[Veritas 117]

I was just thinking about items and had a little idea. I certainly don't have the required knowledge to make something like this, but I thought someone might. After looking at Retera's Disarm - weaponless model maker I started thinking about other useful tool ideas for modeling.

I had the idea of taking a model and making it into an item. You could add some sparkles to it, a glow, or the classic spinner. You could also make a simple birth and death animation by expanding it and then shrinking it like a lot of item death animations.

Like I said, I have no idea if this can be done and I wouldn't be able to do it. But if someone had the know-how I think this would be an incredibly popular tool. So basically I just thought I'd share my idea in case someone who can do it, would like to. Cheers.

I think theoretically you could do that... IDK how practical it is to code that though...

That can be easy to make, however I am not sure how useful it is (also you are late by a couple of years).

You could write a java library that can load and save mdx files.
The last days I wrote some code that can load/save geosets and materials, but mdx files have much more informations.
(And I found some java code that can convert blp into png.)
