Hi, my friend uses Maya and he sent me a model which is in .mb file. I try to import this .mb file in 3DSMax8 but it won't import saying improper file format. So do I need any special plugin for 3DSMax8 so I can import the .mb file in there? And where can I get it?

P.S.: I can't find my friend online so that's why I can't ask him to export it as something else at the moment.

although it would have been better if your friend had sent you the file as an OBJ, so far the only way i can find to get your .mb file into 3ds is to hope that someone on this forum will see your post and convert it for you.
or else you could download and install maya and convert it that way.i'm not at home but if no one has helped by later on, then i will convert it for you when i get home.

edit: okay so that is me home, if you still need this .mb file changed then let me know, either send me a link by pm or whatever, my xfire user is on my profile here.
