Download the 30 day demo of 3dexploration/DeepExploration (the title of that software sounds so funny taken out of context).

Thanx that takes care of my problem for 30 days. :) Is there a less expensive approach? Thanx

i use the .fbx plugin to convert maya to max. i dont have the link but if you do a search for converting maya to max im sure u can find it.

fbx wont work :(

fbx is a format that you export from maya (as .fbx) then import into max....without having max as an importer it wont work.

Ya that fbx won't work in maya 4.5 either. Does wings 3d import to /obj and export to .3ds??

[KID]

Hey I was looking at wings 3d and i think you can import .obj and export it as .3ds so i think thats what i will do. Thanx for the help guys. :)

Damn, Damn, Damn :( Damn I thought I was good to go but when i try to import it gives me some funny A$$ error message that basically says I cant import the .3ds file :( am i gunna have to get max?? i hope not any help out there?? thanx
