ask them for permission to use those models - they're all VERY game-acceptable polycounts

Way ahead of you there. ;)

The problem isn't the models, it's getting someone to convert them from MAX to POF.

*nudges Kazan to make a MAX2POF*

And I don't think MAX outputs to cob.

im unfamiliar with the 3ds or max formats and therefor i am unqualified to write conversion utilities for those formats

i did leave a nice plugin API for people to write conversion plugins for PCS

btw, I know it's old news, but there's a "new" WC in production:
prophecy on GBA ( in 3D, mapped, all, yes ). w/o the video cutscenes obviously

(note - contains 3 RAR compressed files)

3d exploration 1.5.3 (the one that still works after 30 days, but with a nag box and limit of 1 save / render per 'run').

Converts any viewable format (inc MAX) to cob...

Yes...... but they still have to go from cob to pof.  Which is the long part.

Not if they're set up wi' maps....the longest bit is texturing them.  Only takes 1-2 hours to polyreduce the lods, then slap em up with a few booleans in TS for debris, and Bob's yer fathers brother.

IMO.

btw if i'm not wrong most of these models are simply ripped from wcprophecy, only a few are "new" (the models of the older games)

A couple hours as compared to a minute in 3dex...... sounds like it's the long part to me. ;)

yes most of those models are direct rips which means they're perfect cannon
