Hey all.
I'm working on a model of a Lotus Elise MK2 with a friend of mine; I use Maya 4 and he uses 3d Studio Max 4. Maya can import .3ds files OK but it can't export them! Nor will it export .dxf files. It can only export .ma files and 2 other types that 3d Studio Max 4 can't read. Any suggestions? Maybe some plug-in I haven't managed to find??

If you are using all polygons you can export .obj files and max can read them, I think.

in case you havent already tri'ed the model, might want to make it all tri's before it will export to .3ds. also, go into the plugin manager and make sure all the export plugins are loaded.
