I don't know if I'm leading you astray here, but would Zed3D have those formats
for you? ( I know it has 3DS )....

Here's a link to a fellow newsgroupers site:

http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Way/7650/

I know, I know, it's a Geocities page - but once you kill the force fed
Geocities advertisement - they site looks mint, and it has some great stuff -
like Abrashe's Dr. Dobbs journal articles... Zed3D... a BSP Faq.... a Game
Programming encyclopedia.... etc...

If you e-mail the webmaster there - tell him Jim the loiterer sent you!
