Best way to export from 3ds max 9

hi,

I bet this has been answered to death here, but I want know the most simple way export from 3ds max to med. Cause I am more comfortable modeling and texturing from 3ds max than med. I'm just too used to 3ds max.

I want the export to maintain texture, animation rig etc.. I don't want to have to do it with med if possible. ^^

The forum search brought up some confusing and contradictory results.

do not forget to update your fbx exporter.

I haven't looked at the video yet, but I have 3ds max 9 as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3ds_Max_release_history I have a very old version on 3ds max. I always thought 3ds max 9 and 2009 where same.

On autodesk website (autodesk.com/fbx) there isn't a plugin for 3ds max 9, only for 3ds max 2009 etc.. I tried the 2009 plugin but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

...the converter!

thanks, but going there and to www.autodesk.com/fbx gets you to the same page in the end - there isn't a fbx plugin for 3ds max 9 there

as said before, the 2009 plugin didn't work for my 3ds max 9.

in this page there are both x86 and x64 versions

ah installation went through this time with the fbx for v9. Now I'll go through the video with a peace of mind. ^^
