Converter only
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools.php
search under Modeling/MDX, MDL

there are plenty of helpful tools there.

and if u want to export a model from 3dsmax to w3 model file you can use neodex

if the methods Taff suggested don't work very good every time you should use Milkshape 3D and it's .mdl plug-in, open it in war3 model editor (magos) and than save as .mdx

Neodex exports the model as .mdl, then you can just use Magos to save it as .mdx, or use the mdl<>mdx converter on the tools section...

so: .max to .mdl ? and mdl to mdx in magos?

 

[Adiktuz]

Yup... Just get Neodex from the above post to have the mdl exporter and some useful tools for 3ds... ^.^

yes, once you export the model from .max to .mdl download this tool and convert the .mdl model to .mdx

ah one more thing. we can make full animations set using 3ds too?

Yup, you could read BlinkBoy's animation tutorial on the tut section... there's also a tut about unwrapping UVWs for texturing... ^_^

well the simplest way to convert from war3 .mdl to war3 .mdx is using WAr3 model edito (Magos) open the mdl and save as mdx

also before converting to mdl or mdx make sure you have at least one bone on your model and all its vertexes asigned
