anything? I've the information that there is 9 and below but no 10 because I've looked, but I havent seen everything, so Im wondering if anyone knows wether or not 3DS MAx 10 has a nif veiwer plugin for Oblivion :/

Yes, though it might be a preliminary build and may have some glitches:

I think the Niftools team is currently lacking a developer for Max plugins, from what I've read in some of their forum threads, so development on Max plugins has come to a halt. This plugin version might not be finished yet, but apparently it is functional for a good deal of things.

Just FYI for whomever reads this thread besides you, I think there might be a Max 2011 build too, from what I briefly read here:

Just be sure to read all the posts in the above two forum threads, if you come across any issues. The posts might have answers to your issues.

Hi OmegaX

Im running 3ds max 2011, and i downloaded there v3.4, now to get it working, once installing, i think it stuck it in the wrong folder in the Autodesk folder

C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010

Where i need it in here the plugin

'C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3ds Max 2011

So coping the file over then all is well, note you will know on installing if it created a folder in Autodesk, i think the latest version will work for you without doing any thing
