I've created the model in max, and can export it in a number
of formats (DXF, X, ect).  I'd really like to find a lightwave
exporter for max because (correct me if I'm wrong) thats a file
format that is supported by J3D without any additional stuff.

Right now, I'm exporting in DXF format and using NCSA Portfolio
to import my models.  I know the exported file contains texture
information because it displays properly in 3dexplorer.

Thanks
