AI Aircraft production Basic

Hi guys,
Need help to build an AI aircraft(UH-60 helicopter) to be used as MTL object at IVAO.
I have a free model for 3DsMax counting 45000 polygons. I will get them down to maybe 1-2000 as low poly version and will use 45K model for the texture.
Now is the hard part. What next? What file format is used for MTL? and many other questions which may arise in the process.
I will post my progress here and will ask questions. Relaying on you help.

If MTL is anything like what VATSIM used to use, it'll be bog standard .mdl file you could also use to fly around in. Any AI/low-poly aircraft could do the trick really.

Just finish LP model. Poly count is 796. Tomorrow night will do UV mapping and texturing

That's exactly how it works

Nicely done, any other variants sans tanks?

Looks great so far, will be great to see it once you've painted it

Not happy with texture file provided with free HP model. Don't like it. Unfortunately I'm not good with photoshop....have to convince my daughter to do it...hard task

Still some work, but it's look better. What do you think?

How many LOD's currently?

Don't know

How can determine that?

Since there is no UH-60 in MTL, may I ask how is the project going?
