depending on which 3dsmax there is the microsoft dx exporter
also there are is the MD3 one (which i've tested and works fine in patch 1.04.1)

just play with the different formats DBP is capable of

I pride myself that i don't kill... well not without a good reason

There's a conv3ds.exe .3ds to .x conversion program floating around somewhere (did I hear it comes with DarkBasic or DarkMatter?).

JTEdit (http://www.jtgame.com/jtedit) supports reading and writing both .3ds and .x files with animations, though I've no guarantees it works for all .3ds files.

But if you're modeling in Max, the .x exporter is the best bet. That is, if it works. The one I tried from the DirectX SDK a long time ago didn't work well for me, but maybe they've fixed it.

I'd like to get a copy of the MS Xskin...dle, but I don't want to download the whole sdk. Also, the Panda Exporter sucks big time I'd like to try and find this conv3ds thing, I haven't found it in any of my db or DBPro cds, I finally get a great looking engine up, some really kewl character models and now I can't get their aniation to export with the x file! AARGH It's one of the few reasons i paid for DBPro!
