Does some Member have experience on this?
More precisely, it seems that it is necessary first to export as an ".obj" file (and this is already complicated, due to some formatting necessary), then a plug-in for 3ds Max is needed; its name is, for previous versions of 3ds Max, "Habware Obj2Max" but Google doesn't help so much on his issue as far as the version 2009 is concerned.

So, if somebody cold be so kind to give the correct link to the plug-in for 2ds Max 2009 and some instruction, this would be very helpful not just for me, but for many people that are asking on the net: actually, it is a long time that this issue is around, but I have not yet seen something for this version of 3ds Max 2009.

Many thanks!
