Make sure "Preserve max's texture coordinates" is checked if you need the UVs. Also choose the right scale unit!

Managed to get Max trial working after a clean install. For anyone finding this later: just delete EVERYTHING Max-related (including registry) before trying to install again. Working on the conversion now.

Could violate the license agreement. Best to either fix Max installation or contact the artist.

Maybe we can help
Use modelo.io - it's legit and works with most max files
Last resort - find someone with Max, but be careful about sharing purchased assets

Tried installing 3ds max trial but getting some weird installation errors. Any suggestions before I try hunting down the original artist? Really need this model...
