What's up! I found a free model on turbosquid.com, and i want to use it in my game. However, it's in the .max format, and I don't own 3d studio max. I have a copy of milkshape, but it doesn't import max files. Is there any way I can use this 3d model?

As far as I know .max is a closed format, so companies that wish to use it need to pay a lot of money (correct me if I'm wrong). Some years ago I believe a "lite" version of Max was released with a lot of features removed, like rendering. I forget what it was called though, you might want to look on Discreet's website.

It's not prohibited, as far as I know, but it is very difficult as you won't find a converter for the format [smile]

Your best bet is to find someone who owns a copy of max and ask very nicely to convert it to a format milkshape can handle. :)
