I hate to ask this after all the help, you've provided, but I have no choice.

 How do you EXPORT the Armature WITH your Model for use in other programs like 3DS Max7 and Maya? I already know that 3DS format doesn't work.
 I ask because I've made a Character Model but need to export to 3DS Max7 for adding to the game (Halo: CE).

 I would just model and armature in 3D Max7, but I just can't figure that fustrating program out. So I'm exporting for someone else to import for game use.
