1 Import prj model to 3d Max 8
2 Export to ase
3 try load ase model by AseToJme

some models in package
try load it some way
if success please put code in this thread
FINALLY! I'm do IT! 
with debug jme i'm found that model's converters not working without Renderer!!! Hmmm… I'm think it's not good.
In project i'm load model's BEFORE initial graphics
model load's but some error has (not critical)
INFO: Child ("AeroSpotter") attached to this node (ase model)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: F:ArtAeroSpotter.tga (The device is not ready)

You can create a headless window and load the models maybe. I'd suggest converting the models to jME's binary format too.
As for java.io.FileNotFoundException: F:ArtAeroSpotter.tga (The device is not ready)
Does that path exist or not?
offcouse not
maybe prefet be generate some log info not Exception? i'f i'm load texture manually why it's load it from ase file?
so right path:
1 load ase file
2 parse
3 create some list with materials? name, path, etc
and if I"M really needed for load this material do it! it's can be prefer for debug or other task
