Sadly, due to greed on the part of Autodesk really, there's no way you can open max 8 files in max 6. Unless there's some kind of third-party converter I don't know about (not sure if Deep Exploration, PolyTrans and all them can do this, worth a look), the best hope is to export to .3ds or other format and write down/copy anything that doesn't get carried over in the conversion (certain material settings, rendering, lighting, animation etc.) I have nearly the reverse situation: max 8 at work and 6 at home, and was considering doing this. Another option, if this is just a quick thing, is to install the max 8 trial over there. |
