There was a thread back on 1/25/02 (started at 15:16) that talke about using GMAX (a free "gamers/light" version of 3ds Max and MilkShape 3D (which is shareware... trial for 30 days, then it will cost you about $20.00). I've been playing around with this stuff since about then and I've already made the sample conforming skirt from JoatMon2's tutorial. So far it seems to be working REALLY well & there are a lot of really good tutorials for GMAX. I recommend checking this out.
