how do u make explosion effect and glow on models???

i have made a model and it only needs two more things...animation and glow at certain points. I do not know how to add glow to my model and i need an explosion effect for the death animation...how to u do that????

Since gmax is retarded and it messes up the bones, I can't help you with animations. I can tell you how to make hero glow though. One way is to make it a heal aura ability by changing the model into a geoset model from any hero with hero glow.<--Easy way. Tutorial here: http://www.wc3campaigns.com/showthread.php?t=65708
OR you can do it my way-using Oinkerwinkles Geoset Merger to merge the hero glow geoset and use Vertex Modify to put it into the right spot and use pure .mdl editing to change the texture and material to hero glow settings.
