Has anybody tried the updated 3ds import plug in for maya 4.5??? I have tried a few times, I am sure its the correct version, but when I click on the "load plugin" box it gives me some kind of error saying that it can't find it. I posted the same thing on CGTalk, others had the same problem, but no one had a solution!! Please help. I would appreciate it. THanks,

Thanks alot, I am really stumped on this one, Also I know it works for some people, but I did try to use the 4.0 plugin at first, before I unloaded it and tried the correct version when it came out, so I am wondering if that has anything to do with it. Let me know how it works,. I appreciate it,
Brian
