A little model convering help

[syc]

Im sure many modelers here have files in formats hard to convert. I find 3ds the best for conversion.

Unfortunatly I have found some cool models that are in max and mb format. I do not own 3dsmax I use milkshape. Is there anyone who could open a mb file in maya, max file in 3ds or obj file in lightwave and save them to an older 3ds format so I can convert them to WC3?

If not Ill try asking the author, but that usually gets the answer "I already gave you the model, you figure it out" unless the guy is super nice.

Im sure Im not the only one here that needs help, but I could not find a simelar topic.

You could always try Gmax to open the max file and then export as a 3ds or obj.

Milkshape can import obj.
As for maya...I'd check Gmax/Milkshape to see if they have importers for it.
If you can't find it, try googling for one.
