Egg and Vespene Gas Tank should be trivially created by skewing the graphic. Maybe also the Khalis Crystal. The Flag should be a simple edit in Blender, but need to consider the animation.

Zerg structure shadows will be the hardest because of the animations and organic features. The Spawning Pool however looks like it would have a simple static shadow.

Poking around the SC2 map editor I don't see any usable models except maybe a modified Terran Barracks with some parts cut off of it.

[heinermann]

Some external models created by others:

• Bunker
• Supply Depot
• Command Center
• Hatchery
• Spawning Pool
• Extractor
• Evolution Chamber
• Sunken Colony
• Mineral Field (Type 2)
• Vespene Geyser

Many structures modeled here as well (github).

Starcraft: Mass Recall supposedly has a ton of Broodwar-like 3D structures.

The more promising models include:

EDIT:

After diving into each model and comparing them with the original graphics, most are wildly inaccurate. The only promising one was probably the Psi Disruptor (Terran Special Building).

[heinermann]

Potential Starcraft: Ghost models:

• Photon Cannon
• Gateway
• Bunker

Oyvind Krist's Thingiverse Designs (Mostly Zerg structures)

EDIT: Only the Cerebrate, Nydus Canal, and Greater Spire may be viable

I also need to credit the author of this Terran Factory (by Reazell Zyxel). Their missile turret is also close to accurate. Their supply depot is also quite good, just needs some minor tweaks.

Starcraft: Remastered has "Classic" skins for the Command Center, Hatchery, Lair, and Hive.
