3ds max not found

I have a .max max file but when I try to put it in my scene it says 3ds max not found in the debug log.
BTW I don't have 3d max if that has anything to do with it

 

yes, for .max file you need to have 3ds max installed (unity would use it in the background to convert into .fbx)
same for maya and blender files, need to have it installed.

you could try downloading 3ds max trial version, if available, and convert the file into .fbx
unless there are any free 3ds max converters..

 

well I tried but for the trial version you need a credit card which idon't have access to.
and yobi3d's converter doesn't work.
I know this may sound dumb but do you have 3ds max cause if so can you help me??

 

have in office, pm the link so ill try to export as fbx tomorrow. (if no other solutions before that)

 

thanks i'll try send the file itself if that's possible but i'll give you the link as well
