[Archive] HoTs to Wow texture problem
Original source
Hi, we are trying to import Johanna's model from Heroes of the Storm into Blender and then import it into World of Warcraft. The steps we followed are the next:
- Extract the .m3 file using CascView
- Import the .m3 file to 3DSMax 2017 with the M3 import script (https://www.sc2mapster.com/projects/sc1-...ture/files), trying with version 2.1 and with 3.2
- Export as .obj file (and it is assumed that an .mtl and .tga would have to be generated)
- Import the .obj file to Blender. The problem is that when importing the .m3 file in 3DSMax, it appears blank and without textures, and when exporting it to .obj, no .tga file is generated, which means that Blender does not display textures either. Have we done something wrong? Do you have any idea where the error may be? Thank you very much for the attention, we will upload the files if we get something.
¡Thanks!

It sounds quite weird to me that you would like to get "tga files generated". TGA is just a texture format and unless textures are included in M3 files, you are likely missing some files from HotS itself. Or does M3 contain textures inside of it?

I think they should be included in the .m3. Or at least that seems according to the tutorial I followed: http://modcraft.superparanoid.de/viewtop...=20&t=9466 Thanks for the reply

Textures are separate from the model, as far as I know. How else would you have different colour skins?

This isn't about UV map.

Can't you just extract the textures, convert them to png, and then open them in blender's UV Map window?

Actually I think they were elsewhere. There is a folder containing materials or something. heroes.stormmod\base.stormassets\Assets\Textures It should be here. They are .dds and not .blp, Irfanview can convert them to PNG, and then you should be able to convert them to BLP.
