I need to get my MAX files into Lightwave without any screw ups.. ideas?

I was exporting from Max to 3ds files and trying to load them into LW. They were all messed up so I figured it was LW impoter. They actually look the same when I load the 3ds files back into Max...

I'd advise against .3ds as a file export.

Try using .obj. Go here:

and grab MAX2OBJ.

Install the plugin, and expor to .obj.

Should do the trick pretty well. Watch the scale, though, as max's scale is microscopic compared to LW's.
