To all modellers. How hard is it to import a character model from 3ds Max ?

[netsend 10]

I am a programmer and wish to have a new character model, I have found a suitable character on this website:

My questions are:

1 - How long would it take a modeller to import this so I can include it in my mod?

2 - What would the cost be?

3 - Is there anything I could ensure to make sure I save time? IE make sure the model is already "rigged" ?

Thank you for your time. Please note - if you are a modeller and want to help I can pay.

1. depends. most likely a couple of days

2. Acording to BI EULA, one cannot receive money for addon making

3. Model cannot be rigged, because BI skeleton is most likely different.
