Doesn't the DXSDK come with some exporter plugins? I don't know for sure since I stripped my august 2006 version down to the bare essentials I need, but I do recall seeing some plugins included with the package.

The SDK came with a Maya .X exporter that I use. Being that Max has been more game-centric than Maya, logic would dictate the SDK would also include a Max .X exporter.

Note, I had to do a few google searches for instructions on how to install the plug in for Maya. It wasn't obvious from the MSDN docs.

I use max 9 , and i know for a fact that it exports to .x format.

I'm fairly sure vanilla max9 does not have the required 3rd party plugin to do it.
