I found this software yesterday and found it can open nvx2 files, but it can't open the default carlod0, 1, and 2. Nor can it export as nvx2. It will however open all .nvx2 files from mods. I also found a website that converts .max to .obj. I tested it out and it works really well.

I found a major quirk in this program, the demo wouldn't export every fifth polygon, creating fucking holes in the model that even the "Fill Holes" feature in Blender cannot fix it. How to bypass this limitation? Annoying as heck.

It seems that 3DS Max 9 is the only alternative for now. So stupid.

The website says this:

In case of using the following modules (in trial mode), the exported 3D file will have every 5th polygon or triangle removed.

And it's all modules.
