Modeling in Blender using m2mod

Very useful. I did not know it was that simple. 

Why exactly are you using 4.5 for M2 creating ?

On winows 10, if you trying to extract m2>m2i via 4.5, blender(2.7 and 2.6) can not load these m2i correctly, only skeleton\attachments, but without mesh + python error

4,6 redux on win10(and maybe 8?) can not import m2i to m2, even if you do this with clear like

extract m2 human male from MPQ > m2>m2i>m2 = simillar error:

probably this method is not required for windows 7, should be cheked and added to the tutorial as "update"

this way is confirmed for:

Cataclysm

Mists of Pandaria

Warlords of draenor

For legion:

Legion models are working without problem all im doing is always deleting MD21 prefix and changing version from 12 01 00 00 to 10 01 00 00 othervise model is in incorrect format

Not supported for:

    *but still can be used in some cases

Wrath of the lich king(for this you can use 4.0.6 cata models with Downgrade after the editing)

Burning crusade(you can convert downgraded wotlk model to BC via Koward's converter)

Vanilla - I do not know any ways to build a custom model for 1.X, Koward can knows more.

-------------

for warlods of draenor in theory can be used only 4.6 redux (import and export) - but this is not checked yet, i can not do this.

Yeah i am using M2redux still on Win7 and i have no similiar problem
Sometimes when i screw something in model i can get error while converting but M2 and frist 2 ( of 4 ) skins are oftenly good and models works at all

About this once there was somewhere around 010 Script for upconverting M2s from LK to WOD when you use such script you are able to open Upconverted Lk models in 4.6.1 again 

Some ppl had problems with it but when its done carefully its working well

Pick Up WoD Model --> Do M2redux edits --> downport to LK --> UpConvert model to Wod --> "and we can start all over again"
 

I know this is a 'bit old, but all of my Legion M2 files are said to be corrupted when I use M2Mod.

At what stage are they "said to be corrupted"? When you import to Blender?

No, it usually happens when I use M2Mod. It'll create an m2i, but the m2i is screwed up and is just a cube.

So you get a legion M2, convert it via M2Mod, import it in Blender, and it looks like a cube there?

Yeah, but the issue is the conversion from m2 to m2i.

Yes, I get it. Did you try converting the m2 to some pre-legion version (using Adspartan's converter or jm2)?

Here, this may be a better explanation of my issue. 

Why? I did everything correctly, good on you - your program doesn't work :0

I suspect you used m2mod 4.6.1 for m2i->m2 conversion, while you should've used 4.5 for that.

Also, it's not my program

"

1. Open the folder with M2mod 4.6 and launch M2ModRedux.exe.

"
I don't get you man, first you say 4.6 now 4.5
Will try

Update: Woops, same error

As you can see, that line is under the "M2->M2i Conversion" category, while under "M2i->M2 Conversion" it says

1. Open the folder with M2mod 4.5 and launch M2ModRedux.exe.

No worries, I am still at the .m2 -> .m2i part

EDIT: By the way, nice instant messaging plugin on this site

Which expansion is the original m2 from? And which model exactly is it?
