but only gmax with RenX, or 3dsmax7 with BFME2SDK that can export models into W3D.
I don't think 3dsmax8 can export W3Ds

3dsmax 8 works fine with W3D models.
You need to add all scripts from the BFME2 Mod SDK first
Then you import the models using Coolfiles W3D importer and export them as Westwood 3D in the normal export menu

3ds 8 works fine with w3d but cant import animations. and cant use coolfile's importer.

It can use coolfiles importer , ive gotten it to do so (A LONG TIME AGO) but apprently it doesnt work for me now oO

(because im using 3ds max 2010)

uhm.. no

I use it and it can use coolfile's importer

not sure what you mean with importing animations, but coolfile's importer works for sure. (You have to redo the materials though)

Animations on a model are lost when imported into 3ds max 8 with the BFME SDK importer (least I think thats where its from)

the BFME mod SDK has an importer??

where?? O:

Doesnt it come with it? This is the one I have

I dunno, I never found one on mine which is why I used coolfile's

^This^

also, there are very few mod SDKs that contain an importer. It's mostly just an exporter

Hmm, ill have to try coolfiles importer on 3ds 8 then :o
