Hi,

I am into model selling business. Just started it. I am creating my first model of a small bathroom with some shower sets. The tiles have standard materials with.TGA textures applied on them. And the shower sets have Raytrace materials with .hdr environment map. I want to sell the models including all materials and textures in four formats: .max, .obj, .fbx and .3ds. I am working on 3ds max version 9.0.

I know that the remaining 3 formats are available under File > Export menu. But I am clueless about how to test whether the exporting is done properly. I mean whether it is opening properly with all model and texture coordinates, facing, materials etc intact in other applications?

In short, I need some guidance in detail regarding the file export procedures in above three formats.

Sorry if I am repeating an already answered question. Please give me a link if it is already discussed before.
