Can inventor export in .3ds, .obj or other common formats?

3dsMax is one of the more annoying programmes in that only it can read .3dsMax format files.
However it can also read pretty much all the other formats out there.

In relation to actual modding:
The typical route is modelling something in a modelling programme such as 3dsMax, Wings3D or Metaseq. The model is then exported in .obj format. Milkshape then imports that format, texturing or whatever can be done and it can be exported as a CMP to use ingame.

If I can remember, there is also an exporter for 3dsMax that's not entirely bug free but works well enough.


For your case, export from inventor in .obj format. Import into Milkshape. Export as CMP.
Job done.
