How to Make a 3D Model of a WoW Toon
Your WoW toon--gamer's lingo for your World of Warcraft character--is your digital extension in the online computer game. After playing for many months and many levels with your character, you may want to create your own 3D model of the character for display. Blizzard, the creator of the popular online game, has licensed a third party retailer to create these models for their players. For players on U.S. and Oceanic servers, the cost for the model in 2010 is $129.99 plus shipping, while players on European servers pay 99.95 Euros.
