I have read that the .max format is in fact the list of the commands for 3DMax to create the mesh so it is absolutely bound to the program. It is a pity because many times i saw interesting meshes saved in .max format (it escapes me why save a mesh in a totally proprietary format and not, for example, save it also in a standard one like 3ds or obj....)

Bye!!!

That's  funny, the first code I ever wrote to do graphics was built around  PD graphics library, my parser  just let the user feed it a file of commands and arguments that essentially corresponded to the functions in the graphics library.
