Nope, not at the moment. The plugin, besides being abandoned, only imports very basic data from M3 models.It's basically a static model importer without fancy stuff like animations, particles, ect. The only way you could produce art is if you exported them to M3 which the blender plug in doesn't have as a feature.

You could still produce resources with blender and have someone nice like me convert it for you :) So go ahead and model with blender.

Maybe by exporting in .fbx, that is what I do when I work in mudbox (autodesk's zbrush-like program). I make a model in mudbox and then i export it as a fbx format so it can be used in maya/3dsmax.

I do not know if you can export in fbx with zbrush though.

He's using blender, not zbrush. And yes, blender supports fbx, although collada (.dae) is a better industry standard, and he'd be better off using dae. Which, yes, blender can export.

That is all.

Oops I misread and thought he was using zbrush, my bad ;-p

THAT is art!

Many people already tried to make modelling in Blender possible, but we face so many unknown problems that I don't know if such a thing will ever be possible. I guess our best bet right now is converting the SC2 3dMax plugin into something else, even despising the fact that it uses 3dMax specific routines that can't be translated into python nor anything else :S

I am curious though .... How would you convert a Blender model into a 3dMax model without using 3dMax? I have a feeling such things wouldn't be possible xD

Unless ... I could replicate the 3dMax routines engine ... which would be silly ...

Uhh...File->Export->.3ds or .dae or .fbx or .obj or any other format that both max and blender export?

It would be only a little more hard to make an m3 exporter for blender than it was for nintoxicated to make the 3ds max exporter. Harder, because he had the WoW scripts and Wc3 scripts to base his off.

I didn't think they would have my school but I was like "What the hell" so I gave it a try. They had my college even though it's a community college.

Kinda hard to figure out what you're trying to do actually :P

Mind giving me a little bit more info so I can help you? You can also, you know, add me on MSN or skype ;o

Right. I made a door that turns in circles. I am so good at this ;)

Gottta figure out how the heck this works, lol.

Anybody who reads this- so I've got my epic door. But how the heck would I make a unit with different animations? I'm sure it's quite complicated, but a point to the right direction or a tutorial would be great. ;)

M3 sequences I believe comes with the export/importer.

wait so you JUST Dled this and your already making things?!? Wow it would take me a week just to figure out how to pan the camera ;) I'm just no good with building things even though it's a passion.
