I recently purchased a 3D printer and one of the things on my list to create is a model of my main druid. My problem is that Wow Model Maker doesn’t seem to work with Dragonflight. I spent quite a bit of the weekend googling and while there is another program (the name escapes me at the moment) it doesn’t pull my character into the application with its armor/clothing nor does it allow you to set a specific pose.
Does anyone know of anything else out there that interfaces in such a way to export our characters?
If you actually look at the wireframes of the model, they are not very detailed. Also, you are gonna have to still convert the wow model to a stl format. From what I have seen others do, is the import the whole shebang into Blender and work on the model, then export to stl, THEN run it through your slicer.

Yep I get all the manipulating that I’ll have to do. My problem is that I can’t get a program to even export to something I can manipulate.
Yeah every YT clip I’ve ever seen where people print WoW models all come with the claim: This works GREAT – for everything except DF models.

There is a thread on Reddit about this…

Yeah, you are right though, Blizz did something to the models in DF.

I’ll take a look. Thanks, I appreciate it.
I haven’t been able to get a model exported “yet”… supposedly the latest version will work with the current version of wow, but it seems to be a work in progress.
What I’ve done in the interim is I went to Hero Forge and created model that is as close as I can get it to my wow character and printed that instead.

I wondered if there was a way to export from the Wowhead model viewer. I am wanting specifically to get the druid forms. I found the kitty and bear, but I’m really wanting both tree forms, and we just got a 3D printer.
I tried the wow model viewer that I used to use for making machinimas, and I couldn’t make it work against TWW. It doesn’t look like Hero Forge does plants yet.
Hmm. I’ll keep trying.
The old one wouldn’t work with TWW. Before the latest update the highest version of wow you could use it on wow I believe shadowlands. Which is my problem.
Good Luck. Ping me if you find a solution as I’d rather have my actual characters.
