Said to say I have the same problem and have yet to find the solution. Many people have had luck using instuctions by Vermer that were posted a while back. You might take a look at that but it has not helped me.

Anyway, I used only the max trial, and it expired. I have only the tiny experience I could have in those days...But were enough for me to export it. Grab the help of an artist if ur a coder, often the problems is not understanding how really 3d and max works (is logical, each thing is a profession ;) )
