Hi,
I'm wondering how to import a Warcraft III model into 3DS Max 9 with all of its animations working properly. I have tried importing using the Import/Export 2.0 Utility Plug-In, but what happens is that the animations become messed up.

For instance, say I import the WC3 Marine.
An error message pops up that says: exceeded vertex skin count: skin.
When I click and drag the animation slider, the mesh seems to distort and warp, as if the bones were not imported properly or the vertexes were re-assigned during import.

Does anyone have a solution for me? I will be very appreciative. Thanks in advance!
