Importing 3DS files to Maya
No problem I thought... I downloaded the 3DSexport plugin from alias so I could read the file but it doesnt work...
I am running Maya 5 on Mac OSX 10.3. When I try to load the plugin, it gives me this message:
// Error: -2814 //
I looked at the Alias website and doc and I cant find any description of all the error code (which is very stupid IMHO).
So I need you help, either to tell me what I did wrong or to convert the file for me if you managed to make it work on your computer!
Thanks!

I tend to use a program called Deep Exploration. I believe it has a trial version that can be used for free for noncommercial uses. It will let you convert a 3ds file into an obj file that Maya can open.
