max to maya?

i have tried exporting to different file types with no luck. is there a way to import a model i created in max to maya? if anyone knows how, could you please point me in the right direction.

you should be able to use mayas .obj format, heres a couple handy plugins:

Max to Obj

Obj to Max

I haven't checked if theres a version compiled for later max versions, but that might work anyway if you do have 7/8. set the vertex scale to 1 to keep scale

hey that is the most progress i have goten. i will play with this new tool for a bit. so far its working. thanx. i am so glad it was you that answered, rooster, cuz i have had this burning quesion i have always wanted to ask you. is it true that they come to snuff the rooster? lol, just kidding. thanx again

Have you tried .fbx format? It has a lot more options as compared to obj. afaik, obj does not take in material ID information from max. Groupings too do not work if im not wrong.
