As far as i know you cant export from gmax in any other format other than gmax. If Im wrong please let me know how its done because I dont belive you can.. Except for thoose game packs like the one for quake 3 but you only get md3 file format from that..

Yes and md3 can be opened with a few progs like deep exploration    which can save as .3ds :) I did it for my fokker.. i lost a few parts in the process but that isnt a problem ;D

You can't open gmax format in any other program than gmax.

What you can do however is a work-around as already described above.

You guys must have lots of money cuz you always mention using some tool that cost to much just to change a file type eekk.  I think outsiders doing modeling working for ofp was an after thought or not at all.  ???

Deep Exploration doesn't cost a lot of money, Milkshape 3D doesn't cost a lot of money.

Both tools are very good ways of getting .3DS files for O2.

I am lucky enough to get at 3D Studio MAX ($3000 software) through my school.

Both DE and MS are about $20-30 I think, quite a big difference y'know ;)
