Hello everyone, I am new in Unity and I keep getting an error saying
3ds Max could not be found.
Make sure that 3ds Max is installed and associated with .max files.
I got this error when I imported an asset of a 3D figure and I don’t know how to fix it. I googled a little bit and discovered 3ds Max is a file that comes in autoDesk or something, so I downloaded AutoDesk but the error has ot gone away. Any suggestions on what I should do? Thanks for your help.

Yes, if you double click on a .max file, it will try to open it with 3DS Max. Why do you want to edit it? If you do need to edit it, you will need a licensed copy of 3DS. You can get a 30-day free trial here Download 3ds Max | 3ds Max Free Trial | Autodesk

I got the same error. Just right click any 3ds Max (.max) model from your computer. Click properties and change “open with” application to 3Ds Max. After that reimport your model to Unity.
