  unfortunatly, you can do it the other way....
  
  3DS -> Milkshape -> VHE -> Game
  but not the other way around...
  
  as for the weapon/player models, i'de suggest re-creating them in max, because the texture and model architecture aren't movie material...
  
  mdl -> milkshape (decompile via Karistos, import .smd, export to .3ds) -> 3ds max
  
  
  
  also, belongs in help section...

  I know how to import a halflife model to 3dsm, so you say that it is impossible to import entire map to 3dsm. Nervertheless, I heard that NS maps has been made with 3dsm, is it possible to obtain the 3dsm files ?

  I am not a modeler, but I can tell you, not easily since I am a mapper.
  
  You can get geomitry from maps by decompiling them (with BSPtwoMAP), opening them up in hammper, exporting to whatever file format that's there that's not map or rmf (I use radiant, so I don't know what it's called. I havn't touched hammer for a long time) and then import it into 3ds max.
  
  I would recomend re-doing them entirely tho because like delarosa sait, the maps and in game models are not movie material.

  i think you got confused some maps have map models that were created in 3dsm
  but half life maps are created realy in world craft

  You will need the original source file .rmf of the map.
  Open it in Hammer
  Go to File<export to .dxf
  
  Open Max.
  File<import
  Select the .dxf file.
  
  Voila.
  
  This does not work well with decompiled map since the decompiler creates a very poor quality .map file.
  
  Also, you will have no textures in max.
