You can convert many different 3d file types into a format that
POV-Ray can use. What you get is a mesh object for your efforts.
Not all 3D file formats can be converted and to my knowlege .MAX
is one of them. This because of severe restrictions that the
creators of 3D MAX place on their proprietary file formats.

Anyway take a look at 3DWin at http://www.stmuc.com/thbaier/
