Do not start with scratch modelling. It is better if you first try to edit already existent models of warcraft III.

Some nice stuff can be found here and in our tutorial section.

Frank, you are quite wrong out there. I would rather encourage scratch modeling, as you learn things slower, but become much better in smaller amounts of time.

That was my second hint too, but I think for much of the people it is actually easier.

Its too annoying (for me atleast) to edit models, they are all broken apart and have tons of deleted polys.

We need someone to make a "reverse" program that will make them one piece

Scratching isn't really technicly hard, it just requires a lot of imagination (unless you have pictures of what you want to make) and also requires you to like what you made even if it isn't 100% perfect.

GhostWolf, mdlvis already does that, but not many people know how to use it *but I do*

well still i need a tutor
for several reasons:
i dont know what to download
how to use that stuff
and how to edit or model

and from scratch i meant i have know knowledeg of modeling and i need tutoring from the begining

 

[HappyTauren]

Well, if there is anything you really need, you need google or search.

Mc_Flurry, what do you actually want to model? If you want to make some machines and blocky stuff, then learn scratch model (gmax, milkshape). If you want to make wc3 style models, then learn how to edit models and mdl structure (oinkerwinkle).

Start with editing models, that way you'll learn the components off models and how to solve most of the troubles.

Scratch modelling requires a lot of practice (unless you want to make shitty models with parkinson animations), the best is that you start with some practice by editing existing models. Afterwards, get yourself a good modelling program (3dsmax, maya, or gmax) and start going easy: try merging both techniks, scratch and editing. I, for example, started by editing existing models changing a bit the geometry and then reunwrapping, next I started animating using maxbones & IK(which was a pain to convert because there wasn't a tool to do so), later I merged edits with scratch made parts and finally I made full scratch models(but no longer for wc3).
