Like and idiot i bought a 3d model in the .max format which can only be opened in Max, and in this case, Max 8...anyone on this board a max 8 user? i could use a model translation into .3ds or .obj....:beer:

thanks!!!
 
thanks dakotapod, but it looks like 8 is the only thing that will open this sucker...a friend tried it on 6 and no worky.
 
yeah, no kidding...i know in maya there is a way to open the file in a text doc and change the version numbers around and it will open in earlier versions...
but that doesnt work in this case. suuuuuccckksssss

and why do websites that sell 3d models use a format that can only be opened in one software program? like, is it so hard to convert to a 3ds or obj? suuuuucccckkksssss

Click to expand...

Most sites I've been to give a few format options...

Oh well, pookie's got your back! :thumbsup:
 
I started with Maya back on SGI years ago, then migrated to Lightwave. I think they both have strengths. I love MEL scripting in Maya though. So flexible.
 
Yeah who knows how that's going to play out. They're also porting their high end systems (Flame, Smoke, etc) over to Linux now that SGI is about belly up.
 
I love Maya Live...that is why I say go to Maya, unfortunatelly, till I got used to it, it was sold.
