Hello

It’s my pleasure to ask you again.  
I would like to use 3D Max for Three.js.  
Because I am new, I don’t know.

Hopefully, I would like you to give me a clear answer to me.  
Cheers.

The BabylonJS team wrote a glTF exporter for 3DS Max. glTF files will work well in threejs too. See: [https://doc.babylonjs.com/resources/3dsmax\_to\_gltf](https://doc.babylonjs.com/resources/3dsmax_to_gltf)

You can try TDSLoader, as shown in this example: [https://threejs.org/examples/?q=3ds#webgl\_loader\_3ds](https://threejs.org/examples/?q=3ds#webgl_loader_3ds). But it doesn’t support all `.3ds` — nothing is guaranteed to load `.3ds` files except 3DS Max itself.
