Hello- I have a quick question Does any one know how i can import W3 models into 3d studio max 8 if so can some one tell me how. I have being struggling trying to get it to work. Thanks

Im sorry to say this, but you cant import w3 models into max 8.

You can only do this with max 5.0 (maybe higher)

At best you could import the geometry with dex script, but nothing more.
