I've already been down this road, except for the MAX step. You can skip the
POV step and export your file as a DXF (does AC3D export 3DS?). What I do
(or plan to do) different is I use a program called Pixel3D to preprocess
the DXF to reduce verts, join co-planar polys and get all the faces on the
right clock (I hope). Since I don't have MAX I'm trying to come up with
another method of converting to DAT. In essence, some of us are moving in
the direction you suggest.
