Questions?

so i installed neodex. so it gives my 3ds max 9 the capability to export in mdl. good. but does it not make it capable of importing from mdl ? how then do i open and edit a wc3 model with my 3ds max 9 since arttools is only for 5?

Get 3DS Max 5 or don't use 3DS Max for model-editing.
In fact, if you're planning to edit models, use Oinkerwinkle's Vertex Modify and Anim Transfer\Remove, Magos' War3 Model Editor, Notepad and the like.

okay. so your saying i have 3ds max 9 and since its not 5 its only good for creating models from scratch? there is no way to import mdl or mdx? well thats for wc3 mods a suppose. cant i get the sc2mapster plugin for 3dsmax 9 and import and export sc2 moddels?

Wasn't that Plugin for 3DS Max 10 or 11? :/

Debode:
Neodex is for 3ds max 6-10.

Zeron:
I know two ways to get a warcraft model in 3ds max. First one is to import it to milkshape and then export it as obj, but then you looses the animations. The other way is to download a script from sc2mapsters (going to find it later), then import with that. And you get the animations and bones, but the model is extremly small.

Edit: I think it is this.

Goolygot, I'm talking about SC2Mapster's .M3 exporter.

i thought it was for 6 and up to. i tried that and when i put in the plugin for it 3ds max gives an error. and the scripts wont work without the plugin. again i have 3ds max 9 SP 2

i dont know if its a compatibility issue or what... but i have service pack 2 and running in administrator xp mode. but everytime at start up it has an error because of plugin. but the scripts wont load a model without the plugin.

for the m3 package with exporter and importer on sc2mapster
