Conversion from .max

Hello, lately i heve download a model that i need from internet, but there is a problem because it’s in .max format and blender cannot open it. Is there a way to import a .max file to blender or it’s not?

If not, I am attaching the file hoping that some benevolent modeler can make the conversion to .3ds for me.

I use 3ds Max to convert .max to .3ds but I still have problems importing the file to Blender.

Here is your model in 3ds format https://www.sendspace.com/file/3yz0kf

Is there a reason why you explicitly ask for a conversion to .3ds?
That file format is horribly outdated and has more limitations than features. Any other format would serve you much better, I’d say.
