How to import .max(3ds max) files to Maya

This is a video on how to import .max(3ds max) files to Maya!

So you still need 3ds max to do that...

Your video helps me in 2021 ❤️ Thank u so much....🙏

Fake.. You just import FBX instead of Max file

Any good way to clean up the triangles on more complex geometry? I model in max and do all my UV's in Maya. Tri's suck to UV.

Oh man you are a life saver, thank you very much! :)

but if I don't have 3ds max installed on my device ?

You are not importing .max to Maya. You are importing .fbx to Maya.

I feel this video is poorly titled. I have .max files that I need to work from, but need to take them into Maya. You only showed how to take an FBX into Maya. Do you have a way to import the actual .max file into Maya? That would have been so much more useful.

This works with unwrap and maps as well? Thanks

[SunnyPopFeline]

Does this work with Blender and other things?

[Daftvid]

can you open a max file and export to obj? please!

[blackxcrowdy]

I did this and got "unrecognized file"

[issacdhan]

Whatever.
But now at least one can just only use 3ds max to convert files(other then searching for not known software).
