Compiling .map files into common model formats (3DS, FBX)?

[JasonX]

I remember seeing some tools for converting .map files into common model formats, such as 3DS, X, FBX and others. Do you guys have any links for those? Specially, i'm looking for tools that not only convert architecture, but texture mapping as well.

Nem's tool Crafty can import "Half-Life 2 .bsp, .mdl, .vmf and .gl formats along with Half-Life .bsp, .mdl, .map and .rmf formats in a variety of render modes."

and then you can export those as a .obj, which is pretty versatile. I'm not so sure of the extent of the material support, it says it can though.

hmm i suppose, but i left a link to a .map exporter for both blender and max in another thread, so if the case is that thing's might be quicker to make in the desired modeling tools, they could be cool alternatives to mapping tools i should really attempt making a map in max =D
