GMax is not intended as a commercial modelling program. A developer that wishes to allow the end user to create their own models will have to come up with there own model format, pay discreet a ton of money, then send out the program with their game. That way, the end user can make and alter model from that game ONLY. It is so modding a game can be much easier for the user and they won't need any extra complex/expensive software. When you think about it, it is a very good idea.

If you still want to use it and you have a few thousand bucks laying around, you would be better off just buying 3DS Max. Otherwise, you will need to settle for a free/cheap 3D modeller.

I use Milkshape personally. It was nearly free (like $25), because it is easy to use, it has lots of features, and tons of plugins. Another popular free modeler is Blender. It has a weird UI, but once mastered is a very powerful program.

The use of any gMax Maxscript exporter is a violation of the gMax EULA. Importing is fine, but exporting is expressly forbidden except for those formats that developers have paid to have made exportable.

Hacking GMax so that it exports into formats other than the supported game packs is illegal, and a violation of Discreets license agreement.
