Converting Gmax files
Is there anything that will convert .gmax files to anything useable?

No, but you can get an .md3 exporter for it, which can be converted to something useful.

It's a pain in the arse. You'll need to download the Quake tools for it (the Tempest gamepack), then use that to export your model as a .md3 file. Then use 3D Exploration to convert that into a .3DS or a .cob or whatever. There's a link to 3D Exploration in karajorma's faq - look in the modding section.

Actually there isn't yet. I do have the file though. :)

thx.  I got sick of truecrap and started using gmax.  But I guess it has to have some type of draw back.

Considering you're basically getting $2000+ of modelling software essencially for free that's hardly surprising :)

More info on the max exporter?

What format does it export to?
Can you texture in max now?

That's a 3D Studio Max exporter, not a GMax exporter, and it converts straight to POF. Anyone can texture in Max, and I'm pretty sure you can in GMax too.

I don't have them. :nervous: My googling has been less than successful, giving me only horrendously complicated tutorials for animation and the like, which aren't much use...
