Editing .mdl Files With 3dsmax

How can I open/import (or decompile) .mdl files for use in 3DSMax? I recently got the trial, but I don't know how to do that one basic thing. I'd use MS3D, bit I already have an expired trial on my PC, so I can't use it. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    U need to get a way of transforming the mdl into smd's and then using smd importer.

    I dont know how u can do it without milkshape, but i imagine there is a executable in the hl SDK.

    By googling for a smd importer. Or using the one linked in the modelling guide sticky if the link is still working.

    I only see links for exporters. And googling got me a bunch of dead links and irrelevant plugins. :/

    It took me three clicks starting from this very page to find this link. Try harder.
