Gmax Exporters?

Does anyone know of any good (free) exporters for Gmax that will export into .3ds or .lwo? I'm trying to get my models into GTA Vice City, but the program to export the .dff files only takes .3ds and .lwo.

Any help would be great.

well i dont think gmax has a .3ds or .lwo exporter.
but what you can do is export your file as a .max or somethin that is compatible with 3ds max. and send it to a friend who has 3ds max have them export it as a .3ds or .lwo then send it back to you.

Yeah, but you can get plugins that make Gmax export these, and after a bit of googling I still haven't found any that export in the formats I need.

export with chimp and compile it into a gbxmodel with tool. use the gbxmodel converter that was released recently to make the gbxmodel u compiled into a .3ds mesh and then import into max

ok
you get chimp for gmax, export it as a .jms. open it in tool , and convert it to a .gbx model. import that into max w bizklreg, and export as a .3ds

hope it helps
edit: whoops i see emu beat me to it, oh well
