I wrote this very quickly because I was in a hurry to get my 3d models out of GMAX and into Blender. My install of Blender did not come with import/export script library, so I could not use the OBJ export script I found on the web as I wanted. I started writing this and got far enough that it outputs a recognizable object in AC format. It seems to have some problems, so use it with caution and feel free to modify or correct it. I will probably not be working on it anymore, since I now have both Wavefront OBJ and AC3D import/export in Blender. I will continue using gMAX2OBJ script to export from GMAX (very tedious, although check out the resources in the main article for a script that supposedly makes this process easier). | I wrote this very quickly because I was in a hurry to get my 3d models out of GMAX and into [[Blender]].

The OBJ format is much more similar in structure to the internal GMAX data or at least the structures the API functions return. This makes it much easier to just output the GMAX vertices and faces separately. For AC format, I had to think a while how to output the SURF surfaces, from the GMAX faces. I decided to output a SURF for each GMAX face. There are no faces in GMAX that are not triangles. | The OBJ format is much more similar in structure to the internal GMAX data or at least the structures the API functions return.
