How to load .MAX file in Unity

Unity Engine
1

I want to use some .MAX files (3ds max).

The Manual sayes…

“Importing Objects From 3D Studio Max
If you make your 3D objects in 3dsMax, you can save your .max files directly into your Project”

How/where do I save them. And How do I open them. There’s no IMPORT option. And nowhere does the filetype say .max in Unity.

Drag the max file in.

However:

  1. you need 3dsmax installed on your system
  2. it doesn’t really support .max files, it just asks max in the background to convert it to fbx.
  3. Unity doesn’t have an import option for media. Just drag stuff into project view. Or save it in the assets folder.

True that… i use max too, and the best bet is to export to FBX with the newest FBX plugin. Never had problems using it trust me
