That way, I could iterate over the JME bones and then get the transformation matrix without having to perform another lookup. I created a 'pair' object that maps the JME bone to the Bone coming in from the M2 file. So no, what I thought might be the problem was not. I'd say the hardest part is simply extracting the files from the necessary MPQ archive, but once you've done that it should be fairly explanatory. The information collected might relate to you, your preferences or your device, and is mostly used to make the site work as you expect it to and to provide a more personalized web experience.

Getting the application running could be tricky, but I've posted a Wiki page at the Google Code repository describing the process. When you visit our website, we store cookies on your browser to collect information. I've invested a lot of time into understanding how skeletal animation works, diving into the Blizzard file formats, contributing to the WoW dev wiki about what I've found, etc. Beyond that, if someone has a solution to the problem I'm describing please let me know. With that said, if anyone is interested in seeing the code it's posted at the above URL. It is only after that point that the model distorts depending on the animation frame sequence.

Again, it displays the desired frame CORRECTLY.

Despite my best efforts, once the model is displayed the first time (at ANY time in the animation sequence) it deforms horribly. I've made the + and - keys tied to moving forward in the animation or moving backward in the animation. My test application that I've written loads a model successfully, creates the bone structure, attaches it and transforms the model according to the animation. So with that out of the way, I've reached a point where I'm banging my head against the wall. I've reworked most of it to be better documented, and have chosen to make it more readable as opposed to making it more efficient. 'Most' of the code is mine and mine alone, though I've borrowed some code pertaining to decoding the BLP files. Additionally, it enables people to take screenshots, add backgrounds, and add weapons/armor to a character of one's choice. As I mentioned above, I'm quite new to 3D graphics although I am an extremely seasoned Java engineer. WoW Model Viewer is an unofficial program that allows users to see all the models for characters, armor, weapons, monsters, and spell graphics in the game files. I did it for several reasons, not the least being trying to understand how a successful company implements their models inside of a graphics engine. So why did I do this? Well, contrary to what some might say, I didn't do it to use Blizzard's models in some project I'm doing. I've posted the project on Google Code here: I've done as good as I can to get it to where I'm at now, but don't expect much. First, I'm fairly new at 3D modeling, and very new at using jMonkeyEngine. Goodluck.So I've started working on a model viewer for viewing WoW Models (from M2 files).

I have many versions of WoW As well, but only one specific version on my boot drive where windows is installed. I'm not an expert but if that's your case, that could be your issue. Other reasons why some people have issues with using WMV or getting it to open/load wow, is because they have a lot of different versions of wow on their computer and all of them are all registered in Windows Registry. If it still doesn't work, try to remove any custom patches you might have out of your data folder. I no longer have WotLK 3.x.x so I can't say if these work or not, however according to the changelogs, they should.

but according to the changelog for WMV's download archive.
