This is definitely not an interesting post, but rather a request. Does anyone have 3ds Max that would be willing to convert a model from the .max format into something more standard? .obj would be the best, but .3ds is fine too.

I have found a few good free 3d models online for my game, but they all come in .max format unfortunately. It's unfortunate that this is a proprietary format for something far beyond my budget. Here's the one I found:

I hope this kind of request isn't in bad taste. I am certainly not a modeler and that one looks great.

Just PM me and I'll send you the model I downloaded if you're willing to help. Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind, I was able to get the trial version of 3ds Max and use it once.
