nope, Deep Exploration isn't free. just do a google search to find info.

from Max, you could try exporting as 3ds and Importing into Maya (if 3ds supports all the things you require).
You can find 3ds import filters for Maya on Alias's site i think, in the Bonus Game Tools.

i dont' just think it, i know it to be possible.

HERE'S THE DOWNLOAD PAGE ON ALIAS'S SITE

i've used the filter successfully many times with Maya 4.5 & 5, and i'm going to assume it works great in Maya 6 as well, since it mentions that it is for 4.5+

all you have to do is put the plugin in the correct directory, then open Maya, and in the Plugin Manager enable the 3dsimport plugin. then you can go to File-->Import and open the 3ds file.
