The sdk comes with a 3ds -> smd exporter.

Well, then you must get this tutorial.
But there's smaller ones too.
http://www.google.pl/search?q=3dsmax+beginner+tutorial&ie=UTF-8&hl=de&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=
When you've finished your model and exported everything to .smd, you must create a .qc file for the model and use an .mdl compiler.
Milkshape makes this quite easy.

I doubt that you're using 3dsmax legally.
I won't support this, so you must find out how to use milkshape after expiration.
You could pay $25 and use it legally.

1. i have 30 day trial on 3dsmax, so (for now) i'm using it legally.
2. There is no way to use milkshape after expiration
3. 25 $ is far too much (25$ * 4=100 z?, more than a new game or most program at shop (good games 99z? programs 40-99z?)

I know that it's expensive. That's why I don't use it.
I guess you either must get a trial of 3dsmax4, if that exists, or format your HDD to reset milkshapes trial state.

You could use gmax... It's a program especially for modeling, and it's very similar to 3dsmax. (And it's free, and more simple. I think it's smaller in file size.) There are tutorials up for download at the site. You can find the program at: http://www.discreet.com/products/gmax/
I've actually created models with this program.

You really didn't find anything on Google?
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=3ds+MAX+tutorial&btnG=Search
There must be some helpfull tutorials between all those hits... isn't it?
Otherwise, you may want to search for a 3DS MAX community. Mappers generally know only little of modelling. Generally...
