Edit existing models

[Fundo!]

Im a noob to ths modeling stuff but i have managed to figure out how to remove stuff frm units bt this modding has its limits, u cn only take so much stuff away frm u unit...I have seen the models posted and to me (noob perspective) they look like bits of other models chopped up and put back together to make a new one with different skins etc. Is there a way i cn edit models by doing this instead of the scary 3dsmax and all that stuff? cnt i just choose model and chop and stretch it exixting frame etc.? like i said im a noob

[edit]

.mdl files are text files and are edited as such, using Notepad or any text editor: no need to convert back and forth between .mdl and .txt.

As Mech said that tool will convert .mdl into .mdx (which Warcraft III requires).

Magos' War3 Model Editor can also be used.
