Take a picture of the model and rezise it to 64 x 64 and use the button manager to get the border around the icon. Then just import the btn or disbtn, or pas if you are using that in to your we.

You need to use a graphic program
Like photoshop and stuff... And of course you have got to knw how to do it.

Hmm.. Just take screenshot from your hero and resize it to 64x64px? Then you can use photoshop or something to add black background

This is how I usually do it.

Requirements:
Warcraft 3 Model Editor
Button Manager

I open the model in the program I linked to above here.
I go to EDIT -> Properties and make the background color totally black.

After that I open Windows (not xp or vista lol. its in the model program) -> Animation Controller.
With the animation controlled I pick a nice animation and whenever I see a good position I press Print Screen.
After that I go to paint open up my picture, scale it down to a square (size doesn't even matter, just try to make it a littlebit like a square)
After that I open Button Manager and drag the picture I made in the Button Manager window. Then you're basically done.

Easypeasy I'd say
