I need some help please.

Finish a new model/mesh? Got something you're working on? Finish a new map? Here's the place to post it for feedback and whatnot.

Someone from Yayap.com was kind enough to provide me with a whole set of Halo 2 models. The problem is, they are all OBJ Files and I do not knwo how to open them in Gmax. I am knew and having a hard time finding the answer to if you can open OBJ files in Gmax and if so, how? I have been searching Google for the past half hour now (and still am) and am not finding what I am needed so please do not suggest that.

Thanks you so much in advance.

I think you can only open them with 3ds max. Download the trial at http://www.discreet.com

Okay I downloaded 3ds Max 7 and did some searching around. I cannot seem to find how to open the OBJ Files.

((and is it possible to open the OBJ Files in 3ds Max, and save them as 3ds Files so that I may import them into Gmax later?))

Sorry to be a bother again but I'm having questions about 3ds Max now.

I am looking at a jackal model right now and for a reason unknown to me, when I am looking at the inside of his mouth or inside his hands, there is nothing there. The model is see through in various places. But when turning it to another perspective, the model shows. I am wondering why the inside of his mouth and what ever other views are coming up as invisible when they are actually there?

((If my wording is confusing, sorry...))
