Now that an exporter is available for 3dsmax, it is a good program to use. Although is can be quite complicated.

MilkShape has an importer/exporter for static models.

I have looked for the Plugins for Milk and have tracked them all down since the links for moh on Milks website dont work. Let me know if you cant find them.

And I cant find a plugin for version6 3ds either just v4 or 5 and they wont work in 3dsmax6 So I have to use milk as a passthru for sdk
