Will Starcraft Modding Be the same?

Well , i mean this mostly with models and textures. Starcraft II Has much higher graphics than Warcraft III. Will there be enough modders to make such high quality resources?
 
The modelers will probably be happy they don't have to make crap.
:D

You stole my Avatar! :D

On Topic:
I don't think so, maybe models will take a little longer but not much. If anything alot of models at first will be redo's of blizzards ones.
 
I am pretty sure that BLizzard will make moddeling easier- i mean they said that you will have total controll over the graphics and the effects of the spels that you will make without triggers, so it will be only natural (and in their style) to make modelling as easy as the spell maiking.(i can't wait for SCII to come out!!!)

Modeling has nothing to do with what Blizzard is creating. Modeling is all done in external programs, and modeling will still be just as hard/easy.

High-res is not the same as high quality.

Did they say the game was higher resolution in the Q&As or something? I thought they said it was going to be better graphics (including higher poly counts for the models).
 
Well actually there was a freeware version of the modelling software valve used for it's source games that was released to the modding community, so it's not unheard of. It's not so much the modelling itself that they need to improve on, just the conversion scripts and such to make it possible to actually make models that function with the game. That's the hard part about war3 modelling.... finding tools that work.
 
About Darthfetts comment...

At this point hes Darthfetts right, And i suspect that it wont come with a large model editing tool, but i do think this time around they will have a part of the editor, allow you to do minor things with models, small tweaks, and a simple but not very powerful model editor. But i could be wrong.
 
As long as current modelling software gets a conversion script that actually works then it'll all be ok

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
