The only one I can give you any info on is .obj.

Under Window -> Settings/Preferences -> Plug-in Manager, there should be an option to load "objExport.mll"

Load that, and when you have something selected, you can go to file -> export selection, and choose .obj format.

Maya should be able to load .obj's as it is, without the afore-mentioned plug-in to be loaded.

.3ds 3DMax
.LWO Lightwave
.txt Notepad
.raw Photoshop or other digital camera softwar
.xsi in the program XSI

Challenge me and I will try. Because If I should fail, failure also has a prize (Knowledge).

OOPS!! Sorry. I didn't read far enough. I belive that Maya 8.5 can open a .3ds though, not sure.

Sorry again!! :-(

Well, at least I can kind of open the OBJ model, thanks user added image

I just want to try and somehow get Warcraft 3 *MDX models into Maya and there is a program called Biturn which can convert the *MDX into the ones mentioned above. >.<

When I open the Obj the animations are for some reason then gone. :S
