I'm assuming you mean the blizzard made models, so what you need is a program to open an .mpq file. I use winMPQ, which i'm pretty sure you can get in the downloads section, and if not, just search for it on google.

Anywho, once you have that, go to the menu bar and select file > open. Find your WC3 directory, and select that. I believe there is 4 .mpq file archives in WC3, each containing different units, so search around in those for the .mdx you want. When you find it, right click on it and choose export. Save it somewhere and now you can import it in 3D max, assuming you have the proper plugins for importing .mdx models. I assume you can find this also in the downloads section, as I forget what it is called.

I think thats everything, but if I missed something, I am sure someone else will fix it up.
