Exporting to MAX from Upspring

Im having issues trying to get upspring to export to a file format 3DS MAX can read. I use "Save model as..." from the menu, but when it seems every format I try to export to is corrupted. 3ds won't read any of them.

What am i doing wrong?

Its not your fault. When jcnossen made Upspring, he used import/export code from Blender which may not be an industry standard code format, and thus won't work properly.

It's all my own code, but yeah the exporting does not work correctly. If there was some sort of official 3DS document I could use, I would, but the 3DS format is all based on pieces of code floating on the internet.

It's a chunk-based format, so maybe 3DS max needs certain data chunks that upspring does not save...

Well the 3do exporter works, iirc, so you can do that then export the model with 3dobuilder.

OBJ export works, kind've. You lose the Pieces, though.
