Gmax, tempest, and a program that can convert the quake 3 model format into .3ds (like milkshape or whatever)...
You don't need renx to do this...

Or you can get the W3d converter, and put it in 3DSMax (It works, put it in the same folders as RenX, only their correspondants in the 3DSMax directory)
Then, export as W3d from RenX, import W3d into 3DSMax.

When you export it it brings up a dialog that ask which frames you want to export, and other settings, just put a 1 in that text box or whatever...
Here's how I'm doing it...
1. Open up the model in Tempest (it'll give you a warning about a missing w3d file or something, just click the ok/continue/etc. button)
2. Export to .md3
3. Choose to export 1 frame, and whatever (choose your file name and whatever...)
4. Get Lith Unwrap (a uvw map program), and go to file->model->open->.md3->yourmodel.md3
5. Click on preview in the menu and zoom/pan/etc. see if it all worked...
6. file->model->save->.dxf->yourmodel.dxf
7. Open 3dsmax: file->import->.dxf->yourmodel.dxf
(8. if you're doing this so you can render it for your site, than move your model around till it's in a good position and go to render->render scene->chose your settings->render)
(lith doesn't export to .3ds correctly, but it does to .dxf, it works perfectly... (here's the proof: http://www.planetcnc.com/phx/stuff/test.jpg))
