Qbert987 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 A friend made a few models for me and I want to open them in 3ds max. Maya uses the .mb format and 3ds max uses the .max format. are they compatible or do i need to convert them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former Developers Havoc89 Posted May 25, 2011 Former Developers Share Posted May 25, 2011 You can use various formats, but the two I would recommend are obj and fbx. obj is a universal geometery format, and fbx is an autodesk animation format that can not only hold geometery, but also skin weights and animations as well.

Former Developers Havoc89 Posted May 25, 2011 Former Developers Share Posted May 25, 2011 Yes, obj format is a universal geometery format which almost every software can export/import. Which includes Max and Maya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
