Some models will be automatically rescaled by Retera's model studio.
So does Retera's model studio.
This is indeed interesting. Are you saying animations for all models will also be automatically applied when you convert models using your tool?
Animation names can be changed randomly, but animations should be intact. The only bugs might be present when vertex is attached to too many bones, but this is - again - Warcraft 3 problem.
I see. I don't need the model now, I was just trying random models.
The CMD should output an error message.
No, character models cannot be ripped as well as another bigger models. This is caused because of their vertices numbers. The max number in Warcraft models is around 21000 if I remember correctly. Character models and other big models (like K'thir one) are unportable without use of Blender.
Hmm Retera's model studio can convert even the biggest .wmo models without any use of Blender. Take this model for example, I am sure it has got well over 100k vertices;
Ok, there are two options.
Remember to replace the dummy files with orginal .anim files you have exported or you will have no animations.
Since it relies on good old jM2converter, than no, it's not possible for now. But I can think about merging .skin with .m2 and then converting it. I don't know if it is possible at all, but I will check.
Basically jm2converter retroports WoW files into old expansion file. For example people retroport it into Burning Crusade file format, by doing that allows MDLVIS to open BurningCrusade files. So the key might be MDLVIS old Burning Crusade M2 opening.
Yepp, same for me! IT looked pretty promising but just wont work!
Same question. Can anyone help please?

Tried just now, it doesn't work. It looks like that error with the application itself. Though, I have Java and Microsoft Visual Redistributable installed. Also, this step in the link, as I understand it, speaks about fixing the model in WoD format from the Legion format, and I am trying to convert the old taunok model from the early WotLK archive.from step 7
Rip models from WoW into Warcraft 3
1.Introduction Hey guys! Since the release of the WC3 Reforged many people were asking, if it is possible to rip for example character models and make them work in Warcraft 3. The answer is: yes! Some time ago, there was forum named Warcraft Underground, where such models were posted, but now it...
"""you need to delete first 7 bytes not 8"""
When you use "wow.export.exe," you have to run the CMD command immediately, and above all, don't move the textures or models so the conversion doesn't fail.
I've extracted taunka models through Ladik's MPQ, due wow.export cannot read WotLK client. Maybe it somehow affects the result?
