Hi Guys!

I have a question for you.. is it possible to include the Final Fantasy VII Charakter Cloud Strife in WoW as a Player- Model? That would be awesome, because, he is cool! Then, maybe the model of his Broadsword.. *dream*


Would this be possible, or is it impossible?

Greets,

Malfurion

Yes it is possible, but I believe FFVII Models are in the FFB file format, though this might just be for FF8 and X.

Easiest way would be convert to a 3DSM format, then convert to M2 from there and go on with the normal editing process.

3DSM models lose animations upon importing.
Milkshape models don't. Not sure though.

Well as it's been years since I've been involved in the Final Fantasy VII community I believe you need [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for your 3DSM if it doesn't support ASE.

As for animations dragon, someone managed to pull it off in 3DSM and Maya, this was back in 02 when this stuff was more popular and FF7 Trainers were popping up left and right.
