I want to know if there is a way to change or convert a Warcraft III Map File (with cameras and else) in a mdx/mdl file to use as Campaign Load Screen. I heard somewhere that it would be possible doing something, but I don't remember what exactly there was. Please, answer this question!
Thanks to everybody,
Naus Allien.

Hmm...If he made many screenshots and then made them in a moving campaign screen this should do the trick...

What do you mean DPL? How can I do a moving campaign screen. Actually, there is no way to convert .gif textures into .blp textures, and even worse there is no chance to use gifs as textures in model files.
If you know a way to do it, please tell me it...

Convert the .gif files into TGA which you then convert to blp?

LOL, the TGA files do not allow movement or animations. When I try to convert a .gif in a targa, the gif is divided in a lot of tga, one per frame of the animation. So, this way looks to be imposible. I'm still waiting other suggestions...

You guys have played the Blizzard Campaigns right? and you saw the campaign screen. Its not an image, its a model.
I can understand what he is trying to do, but there isnt as far as i know a way to convert a wc3 map into a model.
