is it possible to create new armor/weapon models?

I was looking through the xml files and wondering if it's possible to make new armor/weapons/item models, if so which programs should i use? and how should i implement them into the game? thank you!

Yeah, definitely possible. I use maya 2010 and 3ds max 2010 32-bit, but you can also use Blender although I haven't used that myself. Really, any program that can export into Havok (the engine the game uses).

It can be a bit tricky to get it set up right, but once it's done everything is pretty straight forward.

In addition to the 3d modelling program of your choice, you'll want to get 7.1 32bit version of havok content tools from this site: http://software.intel.com/sites/havok/en/

Here's an old topic exporting from blender to havok https://forums.elementalgame.com/395707

thank you for your reply, i'll check them out (is there a freeware program that i could use or are they all charged?). I'm a big fan of your mod, since you got the skeletons, willl you be trying to implement moving animations such as levitation and teleportation? (the modding thread is a bit unorganized, where should i be posting suggestion for your mod?) thanks once again

Blender is freeware.

I won't be adding any special animations for stuff like that, way too difficult for me. Right now my focus is on interesting models for champions and recruitable monsters in Stormworld. If you have any suggestions for Stormworld use the Stormworld thread.
