New 3D format in the works... 2004-04-22 - By RorrKonn
Back
ok, I am starting to get how .max works.
really wish Max would make a Learning Version.
I do get you can't load a .max with out Max.
Can Max load a .cob,lwo,c4d mesh thats riged and use the rig in Max or
would ya half to make a new Rig in Max ?
Thanks

At a very simple level you can think of a .max as a .scn OR a .cob.
At a bit more complex level you can think of a .max scene much like a
database of objects, their locations, and their actions.
You are correct that you still need MAX to use the Polytrans, and
RightHemisphere Deep Exploration export tool. MAX by itself doesn't
really
have that many export formats built into it. In fact, natively it
doesn't
even do .obj. You have to install a plug-in for it.
So, the way I get MAX files into tS is to launch MAX and export it to
either
.3ds, .dxf, or .obj. If you have the conversion pak for tS, .dwg works
pretty well, too.
