I have added a tree in game and it in the distance is not displayed, only at approach.

+ at card creation the error stands out:

that happens because the object is so huge. it becomes invisible in the distcane because it doesnt have a lowrezmodeö

Why then other trees which much more, are visible?
(I mean those trees, каторые on a card [ML] Kashyyyk)

They have a lowrez model, like DarthD.U.C.K. said. A lowrez model is a lower-poly model that the game renders at a distance. If you're making your own large model, and it's already low-poly (yours is), just duplicate the polymesh (assume yours is named "polymsh") and add "_lowrez" to the end. In that example, you would export a model with two polymeshes under the dummyroot - one named "polymsh" and one named "polymsh_lowrez."

I do not understand where it should be done.
In 3Ds Max, SWBFViewer or somewhere else?

In a 3d modelling program, highly preferrably XSI.

Nobody knows as in 3D Max it to make?

It's probably possible. But still, you ought to learn XSI. It's not too hard to pick up on. I had little trouble myself, and I wasn't acquainted with any modelling program whatsoever. With your prior experience with Max, you ought to have even less trouble. XSI is the only way to make new or edit existing weapons, vehicles, playermodels, or other things.

Follow this tutorial, then export it as a .VRML file (assuming 3Ds Max can export that). Then use MSH Viewer to convert it to msh format. MSH Viewer can only convert props. In other words, if you want to export weapons, vehicles, anything that isn't a prop, you'll need to learn XSI.
