Help: Is there an Add-On that let's you import .max file into Blender?

peterblender · February 13, 2020, 4:41am

I don’t have a 3ds max software so there’s no way of converting the .max to an .obj that is recognized by blender. How do i import the .max into blender without using 3ds max? i heard there was an add-on way back with 2.62 version but i can’t find the .py file on the internet now?

Have you tried the [[BMAX] Blender<->3DSMax Connector which can be found at the following thread.

Max is a proprietary format. you can not read it from another platform without authorizations. So, in one word. No
You have to export it from 3DSMax software. In Fbx file format for example…or whatever exporter it haves.

Dear hanni5bal, I do have a quite large .max file that I’d like to import into blender. Can you help me out with that?

peterblender · April 29, 2020, 12:14am

hi bro, it’s me again. by the way do you know how to open *.geom & *.gtf files? i tried looking into xenhax but all i found was i3dconverter which is trial only and can only convert the .geom file, but not the *.gtf which is a texture file for the *.geom(mesh)

hanni5bal · April 29, 2020, 6:27am

Hey, use following link to convert your max file to obj. Then import in Blender.

DarthBlast · September 25, 2020, 4:13pm

Hey i was wondering, if you could convert a file for me too?

Dogey · November 2, 2020, 4:58pm

i have multiple models i would want to load in blender, so if you are still active and still can convert max files to formats readable by blender, could you convert these files?

Wow! This is what I have been searching for!

I also found this later and haven’t tried it yet:

Importer3D:
FreeCAD Addon to import several 3D files 3D Studio Max (.3ds, .max), LightWave Object (.lwo), Autodesk binary Maya (.md) or GSkin-Mesh (*.gsm)

I also found this online converter: (I haven’t tried it yet):
