How can I create ".b3d" files? Is it necessary to own 3dsMax, or is there a low-cost solution? Thanks.

Yes it is possible. Milkshape is very cheap. Try
http:\\www.milkshape3d.com
It is in the links menu at the top - where you will find other useful links too!
If you want to develop levels for your games try:
CShop 4.1 (www.leadwerks.com) or Maplet (on this website)

Great, thank you!
Milkshape is probably easiest for an absolute beginner since it is an all-in-one tool, but there are lots of IMO better tools for modeling/texturing/animating. I recently realized a very robust (ie. better than Milkshape) workflow that is completely free is to use Wings3D for modeling, Lithunwrap for texturing, and Pacemaker to animate and save to b3d file format. A low cost tool which is pretty invaluable for working with b3d file format is Ultimate Unwrap; you can use it to convert 3D art from virtually any tool to b3d file format.
Thanks Joe for your answers!
