Export as W3D and then import them into Max using the W3D importer?

There is another way. You need to use the Quake .md5 tools to export your GMAX to a .md5 format file. Then there is an importer for max which imports .md5 files.

Can't you export .gmax files as .3ds files or is that only for going from 3DS->Gmax ?

Gmax imports .3ds file types but doesn't export to it.

I'm proving to jerad that the W3D importer DOES work with Max9.

Here's how -

Create the path 
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 9\gamepacks\Westwood\RenX\RenX-WME
exists, because the W3D importer is (or appears) to be hardcoded to look for ...\gamepacks\westwood\renx\renx-wme\

Then extract the W3D importer stuff into that directory as if it was the \gamepacks\etc... directory of a Gmax install.

NB: I've only used some of the functions within the importer, and am unsure as to how many work. I know the "Recently opened W3D list" that appears in the File menu of the importer window doesn't work, for example.

Well its about time someone told me this instead of, "it does not work with max 9 yet."

Ok, I forgot to state explicitly that you also need to place
dazzle.ini
w3d-importer.ini


in the directory
...\3ds Max 9\plugins\


Sorry.
