Export file formats from 3D Studio Max:
ATF IGES (. IGS)
gw : OBJ-Exporter (.OBJ)
ACIS SAT (. SAMEDI)
Most Autodesk software exports to .sat, .iges, and .fbx formats.
.sat files work well between Autodesk software and MoI3D.
@ Michael: If you only have just a .max file and not a running 3DS Max it can be difficult to translate since the .max file!

To achieve good quality in MoI, here’s my method:
I import .fbx files into Blender, then export them in .iges format to MoI3D. If necessary, and for better quality, I use Blender’s Quad Remesher add-on (it’s also available for 3ds Max). Finally, in Blender, I use an add-on to export in .iges format to MoI3D.

Both add-ons are really inexpensive:
The .iges export add-on: 10 euros
The Quad Remesher add-on: The price of Quad Remesher for Blender is $79 for a perpetual license per user (I'm using Blender 4.5.8 LTS)
All in all, I have 10 solid pieces for this armchair (MoI3D moi_v5_beta_Apr-27-2026). In the last screenshot, only the wired version is shown.
