hi all, im reposting this because it got lost when cgtalk had a few problems..

what i would like to do ( if at all possible ) is export an animation from maya/or any app using sequential odj/3ds files ( one file per frame ), and then somhow find a way to import the animation into 3dsmax.

the only thing i have found on the net is this script

http://www.scriptspot.com/scripts/M...a/3dsimport.zip

which does what i want, but i could not get it working (its for max3 im using 4 ) , nor could i contact the guy who wrote it.
Its a very small script, so i was wondering if somone could take the time to look at is and recompile it to work with max4 for me...

thanks

I just tried the script - it worked fine!

These are the steps I took (see if anything is different)...

1.Copied the 3dsimport.ms and logo.bmp files to my 3dsmax/scripts/ directory
2.Went to MAXScript (under the utilities panel)
3.Selected "Run Script"
4.Chose the 3dsimport.ms
5.Then hit the import button!

Only thing that I can see that might cause a problem is that your sequence has to be "nameXXX.3ds" Where name is of course whatever you like and XXX is the number in the sequence.

Hope this helps!

:D
