Easiest way to B3D

Miscellaneous Forums/Content Creation Tools/Easiest way to B3D

Models/Textures/Skins/etc - 3DStudioMax
Animations - CS
Export to SMD
Import SMD to Milkshape
Export to B3D

This option actually seems pretty good. I do everything in 3DS/CS then export to SMD, then import and export to B3D.

Alternatively,

Models/Textures/Skins/etc - 3DS
Import .3DS to FX
Animations - FX
Export to B3D

Will both of the above give fairly good results (do not worry about ease of use)?
