Could you build this?
No Backporting complex 3D assets across vastly different World of Warcraft engine generations requires proprietary binary format parsing, mesh retargeting, bone rigging, and DBC/DB2 database reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires deep reverse-engineering of Blizzard proprietary binary file formats (M2 models, skins, anims, WMOs, DBC, and DB2 files) to convert modern assets down to the legacy 3.3.5 format. Hard parts include automated skeletal retargeting, vertex weight normalization across differing race skeletons, and texture material translation between different shader eras.
