Question Convert 3 files from Max to LWO (or OBJ)

Hi all,

I got a DVD recently (from 3d World Magazine) with three free car models, but they are in .max format. I'd love to be able to use them but I can't open or import the .max files. (and I didn't think I would be able to open them)

I wanted to know if anyone would be willing to convert these files to either LW models or just export them as OBJ files. I'd like to get them textured but only if it's easy. If not I'd just be happy with the raw untextured models.

If anyone would be willing to convert them It would be great - textured or untextured. I'm not sure what version they are in Max either.

If there are any takers, drop me a PM with your email and I'll send you the files. They are about 3mb each zipped up with the textures. Even though they were free on the DVD I don't believe they are free to the public otherwise I'd just post there here.

Cheers!
Jeff

Hi!

If you just don't have the SW to do it use Blender. It's free, the download only 8Mb (blender.org) and can Import .3ds (and more), Exporting lwo, obj, ...

tetraeder - I have blender, but blender can't open .max files. Not many packages can as you need to licence it from autodesk to be able to do that. Thx though.

Matt - I just emailed you the files... Thanks mate!
