Wowmodelviewer and WoD
As you know, Wowmodelviewer (as it is currently) won't be able to read the file format for Warlords of Draenor. While there's no development on that front yet, the maintainer of Wowmodelviewer is currently looking at it. Just for anyone interested in WMV:

I hope they can update it. I'm not an expert with this kind of stuff, but if Wowhead already has a modelviewer for WoD, it should be possible, right?

I hope they update it too. :<
Re: Wowmodelviewer and WoD
The issue is just knowing how to read the new container file format. I believe the model and skin files it contains haven't changed, so the modelviewer itself should hopefully need very little modification. Since Blizzard don't publish how that format works, people have to reverse engineer it. And Wowhead etc. aren't going to tell anyone else what they've found out. There are other parties working on it though.Rower wrote:I hope they can update it.

Re: Wowmodelviewer and WoD
I would hate for WoW Model Viewer to die because it's such a handy resource, both for graphics and just for looking at models in detail. Still, I don't think I'm too worried since the WoW community as a whole seems to use it a lot. Someone out there's going to make sure it works again. *crosses fingers*

Re: Wowmodelviewer and WoD
My version of model viewer dates from the middle of dragon soul; pandas halfway work but hardly any of the new belt or shoulder or helm models do. There are obviously newer versions out there but since I had to jerry rig it to work at all (since I'm on a Mac and the Mac model viewer stopped development back in wrath or something) I think I'll just wait for a stable warlords one. Hope they don't run into too many issues with the new format!
