ImportExport from Maya to Max

Import/Export from Maya to Max

Alias/Wavefront provides a free plug-in on its web site for .3ds import that offers basic mesh translation through max's .3ds export. However, for more comprehensive translation, the best choice is Polytrans, a program by Okino (http://www.okino.com) currently selling for about $800. Its Maya version includes a plug-in for import/export within max. Okino has an interim format called .bdf; it supports translating nearly every part of your scene between max and Maya, including animation, cameras , lights, materials, NURBS, and polygons.
