Personally, I'm sick of .max and 3dmf! I haven't found free a utility to convert them yet, but there's a few no-so-free ones that apparently work beautifully. I wish people would stop posting .max files, too. It's too expensive for the rest of us. 3dmf is a BIG problem, because there's some decent sites that have models in that format that I can't use in Bryce or Poser. Grrrrrrr.
