Converting .3ds to .md3 (for map objects)

[Ki_Amaru]

What programs is everyone using to do this?

 

What I've witnessed so far:

 

Gmax tempest: supports it but doesnt seem to keep textures. Possibly a quake 3 thing.

 

Milkshape: Crashes like no ones business (am waiting for the rumored jk2 plugin)

 

Quick3d: only have the shareware- no saving- but other than that it loads things really well.

 

Pop n fresh plug-in for 3d studio max 3: I've got version 4 so it doesnt work .

 

Which is the best/worst way to go here people?

gee... i dunno man... i was gonna try tempest here but now that i hear it don't work.... that sucks. i was thinkin of exporting with tempest to a .map file and loading the model as a prefab. maybe.. who knows.
