I have 3dsmax 7 and want to build models for generals.
Problem is i want to import the originals so i have referance material for my new stuff. While i can export w3d i cant import it.
I have tried the w3d to gmax importer plugin but it does just what it says on the tin and doesnt work for max.
I know exactly what im doing with max and prefer to use it seein as it costs so much and isnt getting much use!
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
