Any Max->Collada setup info floating around?
VA wrote a great Wiki article on doing a Blender to Collada to PCS2 conversion, but as far as I know, there's nothing Max specific floating around that's anything like it.  So if you've been doing Max to Collada already, it would be great to get the tips and tricks for having a seamless conversion of model.  I only know of one or two modelers who have been doing this, but I'm sure there's got to be more.  I'm specifically interested in Max '09 info.  Thanks a bunch for anything anybody can find or write up.  By the way, the Blender article I'm talking about is here.  That's the kind of info that it would be great for Max to have, or maybe someone who knows what they're talking about could update the main Collada Importer article in a generic style that would be helpful for any modeling program.

I should really write a tutorial about this when I get some time.

Oh awesome!  I just recently ported my Naboo model from Rhino to Blender. :)  I guess I can delete that scouge of TrueSpace off my machine now.

Scooby, I had you in mind when I wrote this, so yeah, it'd be very much appreciated, if you have the time.  :nod:

Mainly, I'm hoping to get some models converted within the week for a LAN party I'm going to next weekend.  A lot of our stuff isn't in game yet and the more I can get converted before then, the more I'll have to show off.  Even still, any info after then would also still be useful, just not for this particular purpose.
