How to use gmax for war3models

[Mechanical Man]

Does anyone know for a tutorial which explains how to make models for war3 in gmax? How to save the model in proper format and attach the skin? And how to open an existing model and edit it? I tried with MDL Converter but nothing shows after importing.

Btw, I wonder how much time someone spends on average for a model?

If you're mdl editing, I think you want an oinker tool. Elsewise (Mix of words), gmax is basically like a plugin, and I think you need the modelling pack in the tools section
