yeah it's pretty easy to import 3ds max stuff in.. I mean you have to convert them (export them to obj) but it's not hard.. most of the time Max will save the material settings so that all you'd have to do is manually place them. I did that with a number of the models I downloaded in 3ds max format after I converted them and they still turned out pretty well :)

I'm still kinda new at all this 3d stuff myself so I'm really only just playing around and see what I can make. An Ebon Hawk would be cool though. I could have sworn somewhere I saw a model of that.. I don't remember where though.. I'll have to take another look sometime.
