If we wanted a "Myth III: Soulblighter with better graphics", would it really be worth having?

Well therein lies my time machine comment. Those old unit models don't exist anymore do they? Even if they did they're probably sitting at the bottom of some Bungie drawer somewhere....
I more or less made the above comment because I just think the troopers look better in TFL - and to see those original kickass models move in the full-on 3D of Myth 3 would be awesome.
My biggest beef with Myth 3 is the sounds. Vocal talent in that game is terrible. But most of the gameplay problems I hate so much have been fixed in that 1.3.1 thing.

Okay I got the models but now I'm too dumb to do anything with 'em
Yes the models still exist....If someone has skillz and wants to do something like this email cik at projectmagma dot net. Don't bother unless you actually have the ability to work with 3d models. If you don't then work on getting the skillz and then emailing. I don't mean to be rude but I have too many things going on and the task of moving the unit models is too important and also freaking hard to do to entertain folks who aren't up to the task.

Woah. They do?
I've been meaning to take up 3D (for filmmaking purposes, it's getting to the point where I have to).
Ah well, if I'm ever up to it then I might have to pester you some CIK. 'till then...
... SHAZAM ...
P.S Do you mean TFL models?
P.P.S What kind are they?

another FYI Will, at least part of the reason the tfl sprites look better is because they were rendered at a higher resolution giving them more detail, on the other hand, they have fewer frames of animation making their movements look jerkier. Starting from the 3d models, it is entirely possible to make a high resolution sprite with more frames of animation, as Iron has done with some of his units.

The models are mostly from Myth II, but to some degree it's not important they are highly detailed in polygon count, though the textures could have been done by my kids for the most part. It's hard to say exactly what format they are in, but they can be read in by Studio Tools by Alias which can then probably export them to something else. Haven't spent much time with any of it yet.

Just played M3 multiplayer for the first time (with Cid over TCP/IP). I've got to say, the principle problem with this game is it's SLOWNESS. Our computers run it just fine, the slowness I'm talking about is the way it just doesn't look energetic. The archers don't feel like they're running or at least jogging, they looked bored.
There's a lot of deep seated problems isn't there? I still think (in a perfect world where things complete themselves and no one has to have a headache over it) that old style units ported into 3D would kick bottom.
Here's another problem. The thrall make too much noise.
