Yet again someone has sent me a massive MAX file as the starting point for a project. Has anyone found a way to get the model out of a MAX file without buying a copy of MAX ?
I have 'Deep Exploration' which very helpfully offers to load a plugin to do it, but then says that the plugin will only work if I have a copy of MAX !
The current one is a 150mb MAX file, so emailing it to someone with MAX and getting them to open it and export the model as 3ds and send it back is out.
I can cope with almost any other format but MAX. Is there a way?
Even ACAD - from the same company as MAX - can only open 3ds files.

As I understand it .max files can only be opened in max. Something about the stack in max....:( i guess you need to have the person who gave you the file do a conversion.
