No Tutorials about it.
Custom animations can be created only in MDLvis (mdx to m2 convert).
To learn how to animate a level World of warcraft, need about a year of practice.

(eg I use MDLvis since 2008).

...But even for me it is quite hard...

There is an alternative.
Blender + 2mod3 plugin  converter.

 but:
* You can not create or edit custom animation

you can't import model with animation, but you can create and animate a new model with MDLvis or edit an animated model with blender + m2i to create a new model (that uses the animation of the original model)

i want create and import a new model, so the creature don't know what he have to do with animations, so he can't use the original model animation. or what do you mean?

I advise you to begin with Custom weapon models. And if it happens - move on to something more complex (eg Doodads)
