WC3 Modeling for Mac

[GnoobSauce]

Is there any program for a Mac that can model for WC3? I've been using 3DS Max 9 on my PC, but I got a MacBook and I'd like to do some 3D modeling on it without having to use BootCamp.

there's no way. Max doesn't work on MacOS and I don't think any of the 3rd party tools do. Don't know about milkshape or blender though, but I don't think they work either.

No wc3 modeling I'm sure of but anyway, maya works for mac.

yeah, I know, and it's the single most important freakin choice why it's so used in the film industry. You know, like all pros use macs.

They do? Why is that? Our animation teacher uses mac btw.

Blender is available on mac, but although there is supposedly a plugin to allow import/export for mdx files with it, I don't believe it was ever a fully functional plugin, and I never managed to get it to work. If you can get Darwine running, you can run the MDX-L converter through it, among other things, and from there, you can make some changes with either TextEdit for things like particles and the like, if you know how the file format works, and you can also use Warshape, which is Java based and therefore works on most operating systems, although I'm not sure how much you can do with it. Personally I just use bootcamp if I need to do any proper modeling.
If you're lucky you might be able to find a version of Darwine with working OpenGL support, which might let you use some of the Windows Model Editors, probably not Max though.

Hope I helped a bit.
