Gmax? That's going back a bit. Didn't they stop making that like 3 years ago?

It's unlikely that any of your existing models will work as sculpties. Sculpties have to be modeled in a very specific way, which, is quite different than the way most models are built. You won't be able to take any old arbitrary model and hit the magic Make Sculpty button. It doesn't work like that. Chances are you're gonna need to rebuild almost everything.

If Wings3D is gonna be your tool of choice, there have been many threads on this forum about how to use if for sculpties. Search the forum and also read the wiki. Everything you need to know is there.
