Can I use Warcraft 3 resources on other games?

Maybe this is the post near the end in Hiveworkshop right now. I don't think I had much time to do something better in here, so I may leave this place.
Warcraft III models have some interesting things: They have four rotations: Up, Down, Left and Right. More than that, they had stand animations and spells. I found out I can use it in my project (not Warcraft 3 now ). They fitted very well and I may can redraw it into a similar monster.

Other Example

Like Heroes Might and Magic II, III. I can use the animations of the monsters - soldiers in database and let someone who good at drawing redraw it into a new monster similar than the standard. The two pictures will see that point:

That is the good point in Warcraft III models. If I use them with these activites:
- Credits Blizzard Entertainment and people who created by themselves.
- Redraw them (not copying).
- No offense while people saw them.
could I USE them?
All Warcraft 3 players can post anything you want. Make sure your answers are true.

So, you mean to copy the idea?

I think you can do that. but converting the actual resource would need some permissions I guess.

If your going to use them as reference, I think there's nothing illegal in that.

What chobibo said.

In other hand, if you mean the actual resources [Models, Icons etc], directly from the game, then that will need permissions [I think, AFAIR, Blizzard properties are copyrighted].

Thank you Hera and Daffa the Mage.

For Blizzard made objects, most probably not unless you get Blizzard's permission

For user made objects, contact the maker?

Though I don't think Blizz will make a buzz unless you use the resources as is (like import the models into your game) and the game gets quite the fame...
