So I've been trying to find a way to convert the old dink .max files into a different format to no avail. Now, I realize a .max file isn't just a mesh file, it's an entire scene, so "converting" such a file isn't really a possible solution but you KNOW WHAT I ACTUALLY MEAN DAMMIT DONT BE THAT GUY.
So would anyone know how one would go about accessing these files and exporting the meshes within into a .obj format or something just as common (for those like me who dont have 3ds max)? Preferably without having to get a virtual machine running with an ancient windows version for an ancient 3ds max version.
And if there ISN'T any other way, would anyone kindly point me towards a downloadable 3ds max version that would be able to open said files?

THANKS!
