get the wavefront obj maxscript from somewhere on the web and then export your models as a .obj

when you import the model is really, really, really, really small. just zoom in as much as you can on the center of the grid and eventually you will see the model, i'm not sure about the exporting

Katarn, i think you have no clue what Pottsy means...

so far, only milkshape can do the modeling perfectly with no problem.

the Softimage XSI for Half-Life 2 is said to work, but it has some problems of its own (not related to modeling, but to the program itself)

GMAX SUCKS BALLS COMPARED TO 3DSMAX
