maya files, dunno what type can be exported strait to the editor which is how DICE made BF2 thou i know very little about that..

3DsMax has a plugin which I and basically every dev here who deals with models uses.

Its not easy to use, normally a coder dose the exporting.

You can add .skinnedmesh to that list :p

Yeah, you have two options:

- Work in maya, save to .mb (iirc), and use the bf2 editor to convert to the relevant bf2 format.
- Work in 3ds max, use the exporters mentioned above.
