WC3 water model

What model does wc3 use for it's water, and what is it's path? Or is it generated via code / something similar?

Replaceable Textures/Water/
It's just a plane with animated texture, you can replace it but you need to replace all 40 or so frames.

I'm not looking to replace the texture, but the model. I want to try and animate it, since it is kinda boring just being a texture animation and not a model animation.

I doubt that it has an editable source model, and if it had it would probably be limited in what it can do before crashing the game.
You can always just make the water transparent to keep the water functionality and replace it with your own model.
