Files with MAX extension are used by 3ds Max, a modeling software. MAX is the main 3D scene file generated by the tool.
ASE is a file format for storing color samples. The format is used by Adobe applications and have broad use. ASE file are typically used for designing graphical projects (for example, posters or leaflets), multimedia presentations, or software applications.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the MAX file after converting to ASE may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from MAX to ASE to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting MAX to ASE does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in MAX format, properly converted to a ASE file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file MAX the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of MAX file to other than ASE. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your MAX file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to ASE on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the MAX file in its original format (without conversion to ASE file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
