is there one out there for blender?
Note, i also need it to import the mapping coordinates. [!]
If you mean an in/export script to 3ds max’s default format no. The format is closed so there are no im/exporters for any program to it.
not quite true, there is some sort of SDK that you can install when you install max, which acts as a translator, but its still not avalible for free.
you can export to 3ds and import it into blender, or there are afew other formats that you can use in blender.
