3d editor question

[Miseracord]

So upon my quest to edit models i was given few options. I heard about this editor called Gmax. Cool, its free and all. So now i have it and i'm not sure how to open warcraft models in it. It's something like an incorrect format. The program doesn't seem to open MDX or MDL. Perhaps the solution is right in front of me, but honestly, i'm stumped. Can anyone help me out here?

Gmax is not as good as 3ds Studio Max. It doesn't really open or edit .mdx/.mdl. It won't work for wc3 modelling.

Drats. Any advice on what i should use? Such as programs and whatnot

 

[Sopho]

3ds Studio Max, MilkShake, 3D Canvas Pro, Wings3D...

I might have Milkshape somewhere...ran into the same problem with that...

any luck on finding those...like a download or something...(besides 3dsmax)

They all cost money. 3ds Studio Max is the best one out there for modelling and it'll satisfy you but its too expensive.
3D Canvas is a new modelling program (PRO version) which is at a cheap price.

Hmmm...ill be on the lookout...however...i found the Milkshape 3D 1.7.0 that i had mentioned earlier. Like i said, i ran into the same problem. Is there anything i can do for that?

 

[Sopho]

I haven't used any modelling programs before so I don't know.

 

[Miseracord]

Wait...i suppose i was under the impression that you made\edited models...

oh well then thank you for your advise
