3Ds max 8 + half life 2?

[wildchild730]

Can I use 3ds max 8 for half life 2 models? I downloaded a MDL importer/exporter but it didnt work (it did say it was for 6, but I tried it anyway)..

Also, anyone know how to get hl2 textures working in 3dsmax?

Or, any good links for all this stuff??

Thanks
