Exporting as .mdx w/ Bliz Art Tools (3D Studio Max 5)

Yeah, I need to export my model... the question is -- how?

Scour the modeling tutorials. I have a hunch one of them answers your question. Probably the first one.

I did... I really couldn't figure out.
EDIT: Gosh, I figured out. So simple :s (Not by reading a tut)

My question is (I should probably search this, but I haven't found out up to now) is how did you get ahold of a copy of 3dsm5?

Ahm... through totally legal means. Or just a long time ago.

Gotcha. Because I think I'll want it at some point, I just need to figure out where and how...

Well torrents are probably your best bet now, but even then...

I could stick a disc image up somewhere if people want.

i realize that it's technically illegal but whats the big fuss about very old, very outdated, unsupported version being shared? if they really cared they would have them available for sale.

Hmm, disc image? How legal is that? *thinks he already knows the answer*

That is exactly the fuss; all those are just rationalizations for why one should be able to get it. But rationalizations are often just made when you know you're doing something wrong. (i.e. "well, I'm stealing a candy bar, but at least I'm not stealing a DVD player, or killing someone")

Suddenly illegal things were discussed. Mysteriously, the thread was locked.
