in general, to find models, use the effect browser in WE and select a model. If you then double click on the model field again, you'll notice that the path reflects the new selected model.

Better yet, get a MPQ viewer of some kind. I'd recommend Warcraft 3 Viewer because of the simple interface. Messing around inside the MPQ files gives you a better understanding of, well, how stuff's put together in wc3, which generally helps you understand editing and gives you more creative freedom. Anyways, the path is

War3x.mpq\Abilities\Spells\Human\CloudOfFog\CloudOfFog.mdx

and it uses the textures

Textures\Clouds8x8.blp
Textures\ShockwaveWater1.blp

This took me < 10 seconds to find in Warcraft 3 Viewer.

I´m on the job right now...when i get home, it´ll be almost 10:00 PM, so i wanted to get home with an idea of where was that model inside of the MPQ file.
SO THANKS A LOT, Both of you!!!!
