How is that? Can't someone with a x86 open an x64 file and export it from there? Does it register the files differently when saved on a x64?


No, isn't this.

The 32 bits is the program, and you can run 32 bits program in a 64 bits operative system, but in a 32 bits system, you can't run 64 bits programs.

The files doesn't change: are the same, because in my free time at the university, I used the 3ds Max 2014 X64, and I saved as 2011 .max file, and in the house, opened the file and exported, and works well. But using a x64 3ds max to export, doesn't work (tested by me, because I doesn't read well the instructions: only works in 32 bits 3DS Max versions between 2010 and 2013.

That is the complete opposite of what he said, vmo.

He asked if someone could make a file on the 64-bit version and then give it to someone with a 32-bit one and use that to export it. From what vmo said, it seems to be possible, if I managed to understand what he said and if he actually meant what the collection of english words he used said.

Yes, you can.

You transfer files between the the 32 bits and 64 bits version of 3DS max as long as its the same year, but I am not sure if you can open files from the currently available student versions of 3DS Max on 3DS Max 2013.

Is possible, but save as old versions of 3ds max.

I'm asking this because I downloaded the 2013 version like you said, but the 64bit version. If I have to get the 32bit now I give up on learning the prog.

Also, anyone as good tuturials on the modeling itself?

Loooking the youtube automation tutorials.

I learnt 3ds max modelling since zero thanks to this tutorials.
