You have a couple of options:

1. Purchase Deep Exploration from Right Hemisphere and use that to do the data conversion.

or

2. Download the free FBX Plugin (https://www.kaydara.com) and use that as the intermediate format to go between Maya and 3ds Max.

I think the fbx plugin works both ways. You need both the Maya and 3ds Max fbx pligins installed.

Both the FBX file format and Deep Exploration work both ways.
