3DMAX->Maya

As im now officaly a 3d adict i called in a friend that does this day in day out… altough he is pretty good with his favorate software Alias Maya i found a problem for him he even cant figure out :smiley:

ok here goes… i started out with a have-backed-mobel of a '57 chevy (car) i had ton of trouble getting the reflect and deflect etc… (see topics somewhere under here)… now this friend of mine uses Maya and creates tons of kewl things… he told me im beter of with Maya… so i de-installed 3dstudio and statred with maya… now at first glance i have to say Maya is beter looking and more easy for beginners… but he im a beginners so dont listen to ME :smiley:

ok to make long story short… how can i import or open a 3dmax model in Maya… :h:
