> > btw i forgot to ask Flyby, can gmax models be converted to max models? that would really suck if people spent all this time making gmax models only to find that they have to start over from scratch if they want to be able to use their models for more than just adding them to a few predetermined games.

> Common man, you think that they are so stupid at Discreet that they would kill their own $3500 3D flagship with a freeware "lite" version? what would hold big studios from buying just 1 max license and fill up the gaps with GMAX ??

> In case you didn't get it yet : no, they are not compatible...

that sucks!!!. ok i'm gonna have to write warning in my readme that using gmax is a waste of time then. the whole point of my program was to save artists some time and effort because they would have a highly portable model afterward that they could use for anything.

in other news. has anyone seen the screenshots for Everquest2? the look better than Doom3. I want those models in my program now! do you think someone will give info on the model format? it's a shame those models will be in a game that is so un-interactive. i heard it's one of those games that if you want to fight, you just click on the combat button and then go read a newspaper and come back to it a few minutes later to see if you lived or died.
