Great Project.

In my previous (work) life it would've been incredibly useful to have an editor that could open the yearly, not-backward-neither-forward-compatible iterations of 3D Studio Max, AutoCAD and Maya file formats. Especially when custom renders were involved. I still have somewhere a 3DSMax 9/Vray file that could be opened correctly only on the very same machine that wrote it.

Thanks!

We did not focus on legacy proprietary format though, but many modern formats are supported.

.max file format is intentionally hostile to developers to implement it, forcing them to use the proprietary library/environment. In my experience .obj (binary or ASCII) or .lwo have the best interoperability.
