Quote: "No, but using wings 3d, which is free, you could import it and then export it as directx, which the the model type fpsc can handle."
Quote: "And thank you Keith. There are MANY programs to convert the file type."
He's referring to the panda exporter which is a Max plug in and is well known to
most Max users, even TGC use it for the model packs since day one and suggest its use in the tutorials for export, its been around in many forms for years now.
Meaning your dont need any other programs to convert from Max.
If you dont know for sure dont respond to the question, I see a lot of authorative answers around the forums these days which are completely wrong.
As to the ambition of the OP's original question, without some real modeling skills and FPSC experience of whats possible I would most definately break that level up into several I wouldn't tackle a single level that huge.
