Anyone know where I can find a free, external program that converts .MAX files to .3DS files?

Any help is appreciated.


"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

You could always use magic. Razz For reals thou, I don't think there is an external program to convert max to 3ds. Prehaps if you ask nicely, maybe someone would convert it for you. Confused

Just a question, if there is no external program to convert .max to .3ds... How could someone else convert it for him?

I don't think so...

.max is 3dsmax's proprietary format, you'd have to get someone with 3dsmax to open the .max and export to .3ds.

Because 3D Studio Max CAN convert it...of course, 3DS max is a 3000 dollar program which most of us don't have in our back pocket unfortunately... Wink

Hmm, you might try looking for 3D Exploration 1.5. It can convert max to 3ds, though it might not be capable of converting Max v6 files. It's a trial version, but it never expires.

Whilst we're on the subject of converting, is it possible to export in 3ds max to w3d?
Or at least to install Renegade Tools/GMax onto 3dsMax?

I'm not sure, but I think they could work with Max 4/3.

It won't work with 3ds max 3/4 since the SDK is different.

There is a file/plugin out there, somewhere! called max2w3d.dle
I found this out when launching the E3 Nod Buggy (found at the commando site) in 3ds max6

Does anyone have this?

Is it worth attempting to email EA for it?

hmm, just a thought, Eric Kearns (i think thats how its spelt) is the creator of the E3 Nod Buggy, he released that, maybe, if we ask him 'nicely' he could give it to us..

Still don't have a plugin for ya though.

Welp... Greg does work here but he doesn't have anything but old code
and that isn't worth jack.
