converting Maya to Max

[gaggle]

Uuuuse the search, Luke, use the search. The search-feature is your friend™.

I don't know about best, but I found this (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50447&highlight=maya+AND+import+AND+max) thread, that suggests a few different ways of doing it. The way I use is the .obj route, I haven't yet tried the .fbx thing.

go to www.kaydara.com

the filmbox plugin is really nice for swapping models between packages. It also brings in UV maps, bones, and weighting (unless you have a really complex rig)

thanx for the help everyone...

is there a downloadable version of .obj to max 5?

'cause the link Robin wrote only has it for versions 3 and 4...

.obj
or
.dfx (i think that is the one I am thinking of.)

How about just trying the plugin? If it fails, then no, but that wasn't the case for me. I haven't verified that we've downloaded the same plugin, so I can't be a 100% sure, but I had no problems with it.
