The importer should now work almost 100% perfectly. As can be seen from the screenshot (hopefully), it will load smoothing groups, advanced material settings, lights, cameras (although they are disabled), pivots/dummies, and a few other things. Getting smoothing groups to be reconstructed at a reasonable speed was pretty tricky, but once I got it working, it turned out to be the simplest solution :)
The following material settings are loaded:
- Diffuse color
- Shininess
- Diffuse Texture
- Opacity Texture (only if it is the same as the diffuse map)
- Self Illumination Texture (handled a little differently than in 3DS max)
- Reflection Texture (loaded as a spherical reflection map)
A few objects might be rotated wrongly, but I'm looking into that at the moment. Ambient light, and fogging is not loaded.

The rule is still if you can break it for real, you earn the source code, if you can't then keep trying!
PS: Gotta love Blitz :)
See you,
