How to Install WoTLK Model Viewer

UPDATE: Since this post, http://www.wowmodelviewer.org/ has come back up and is now hosting the download for the WoTLK Viewer.

 

Greetings! Since the wowmodelviewer site is constantly going down, and I have had several requests asking how to install it, I decided to make a blog post about it.

First, you download – Microsoft Visual C++ – from Microsoft.com. This will install Visual C++ and provide the current (beta-esque) modelviewer the libraries and utilities needed to actually run.

Next, you download and extract WoW Model Viewer itself. Since the website is currently offline, I have uploaded it to my blog and now give it to all of you who read this.  You can download it from this – link -. I assure you, it has no viruses. It was last updated 01/06/2009.

I must warn you though, this is not a stable release. It will crash, and may crash often, so save your work. The enchant particles are currently overdone, but that is all that is really bugged out. There are many new features, so enjoy them.

Good luck photoshopping!
