3DS Max. They only sell 7.0, and you'll need to pay heaps for it, but I think they offer downgrades
Yes, 3DS Max 4 or 5 is the best modeling program for Warcraft 3. You shouldn't even bring Photoshop into this conversation because Photoshop isn't a modeling program
I might think that it is not totally impossible to use 3dsmax 7 or 8, at the moment im using v. 7 but i have not imported my model jet. I will try to import it into gmax (Which is almost the same as 3dsmax, and it can export mdl/mdx), which means this is the way: 3dsmax > gmax > war3
I dont know it it works jet, but im gonna try in this weekend, i can get back to you with a answer
Btw. this is my first post

i use max 7 or 8 to model then i export to milkshape, dont use gmax unless you want to work with an unfinished plugin.
g max seems hard to use, milkshape, i install it but never tried, well if i have to use 3ds max version 4.0 or 5.0 i think its going to be hard to look for them, my point is that, if i have to buy something, then why dont i buy the best one, since i can use it to make other stuff too right? just buying 4.0 for warcraft3 isnt really worth, because i cant use it for anything else.
Werewulf: The plugin works fine, the only thing is that u have to copy/paste your file into the new format. But is there something wrong with it? have tried it that much jet. Its only that I have learned to do it that way, why learn a new way it the old works?
well, i guess ill use g max, alot of people say its hard to use and recommand 3dsmax, but it doesnt seem much different, but g max just look a little more high-tech
