How do you convert a 3D char into an msagent?

[GEris]

Ok. I'm really new here, but I've already delved into the knowledge bases and love the ease of those. But I'm ready to make it really my own. 3DGuile did a great tutorial on making a 3D model using 3D Max, but how do you convert a model into an msagent? I don't want a CCS, though. Any help will be welcome, and please, remember I'm really new at this so one syllable words will probably work best! lol
