HI Im interested in MODding some units. Would anyone be interested in training, for me /or everyone (holding an online sesh for a crew of PA backers)? I have dl blender etc. per the main thread to get me started. Its mind boggling to say the least. Schweet! Happy New Year!
As far as I know modding units isn't very feasible right now. Raevn made an excellent exporter for Blender, but the bone export is wonky, and you can't export animations. Aside from texture mods, shader mods and of course GUI mods, there isn't much that can be done. That isn't to say that our modders haven't done some seriously awesome stuff with what we have.
Yeah, just keep up to date on the technical discussions that show up here. @raevn is one such person you should keep an eye on, as well as the developers that post in here.
