MDX(3d/animation) file editors?

[HotSauce]

Hello. I want to ask is it possible to edit the *.mdx files that are inside war3.mpq? I have milkshape 3d, but it cannot open mdx file, i think it reads only *mdl, and all wc3 files are *.mdx. So what programs should I get to edit the file's animations and meshes. Here's what I want to change:

A kick-start to model making:

1) Get Magos' War3 Model Editor

2) Do the tutorial for it. (Will teach you basic model editing)

3) Get Oinkerwinkle's Vertex Modify

4) Do the simple and easy tutorials from top to bottom (you'll learn all the stuff in an evening or two)

Oinkerwinkle's Tutorials​

You'll learn model editing, scratch modeling (creating stuff from the basic primitives), and UW mapping (fitting a skin to the model).
You can then use these skills with the more versatile MdlVis tool.
​

For actual model making all you need is

• Magos' War3 Model Editor
  • for editing materials, importing textures, making particle emitters, nodes, camera, simple mesh editing, etc
• MdlVis
  • for UW mapping, mesh editing, animating, creating new geometry from scratch, assigning vertices to bones, etc

Tip: The primitive shapes that come with Vertex Modify can just as well be used for scratch modeling with MdlVis

Thanks for the detailed answer. Actually I found plugins for MilkShape 3d that work with mdx files, but I'll go with Magos editor(looks more simple). I think to remaster some of the graphics, will see what will happen.
