Description Simple Model Viewer is a Warcraft 3 map that allows one to view the 'mdx'/'mdl' game files. There are controls for selecting which model to view, changing the model's animations and sub-animations, moving, rotating and scaling the model.
Tips You can view custom model files by importing them with a MPQ editor to the map and adding an entry to the 'model-list.fdf' file. Precise positioning of the game camera can be done by clicking on the terrain with the middle mouse button and dragging (built-in game behavior).

What distinguishes this from the resource above is the use of UI natives in making certain fields easy to manipulate, such as animation, animation time scale, rotation of axes, and more. The way custom models are added to the Model Viewer requires a bit of knowledge of ".fdf", which makes it a bit more difficult to use imported models compared to the above.
Due to the Spell Submission Rules, a listing of the API, external library requirements and importing instructions is required.
