Are there any plugins that could import .max files to Bryce? How about a particle system, is there any?

There's pretty much nothing that can import .max except Max, because it's their proprietary scene file, not a mesh file. As for particle systems, I don't believe that it's possible, though you might try exporting to .3ds and see if that works (I haven't used Max in a long time, so I don't remember much about particle systems..)

I think the best you can do is maybe convert the particles to small spheres. I'm not sure if it's possible or not, just an idea I had that I haven't tried yet. If you can convert the particles to tiny spheres, then you should be able to export as a 3DS file.

You can export MAX scenes to Bryce by exporting them as 3ds or obj, but be careful not to include lighting or cameras or you'll get a huge file at best

Is there a program that could convert .max files to .3ds format, other than 3d Studio? Rico- I don't need 3d Studio plugins, as I don't have the program :).. I'd need a particle system plugin to Bryce, but I don't think there is any.

The main converter for modeling is Polytrans and it won't translate MAX files, so no, there's nothing other than MAX that will translate to 3ds
