not sure about dff files specifically but [www.maxplugins.de](http://www.maxplugins.de) has a pretty comprehensive collection. It wouldn’t be DLL files that he’s talking about (related to the running of a program). ---

.dff files are the models from Grand Theft Auto and many other games like Tony Hawk pro skater it’s not DLL, that is a Direct libarey link… you need them to run software not import models in Max 5 ---

along with the link ironikart posted you can try to get info on the actual file format here. [http://myfileformats.com](http://myfileformats.com) I tried to play with it and could not get it…It seems to be some kinda proprietary like encryption format but I could be wrong good luck. ---
