Exporting models to 3DSMax?

Hey, I'm new here, so apologies if this has been asked before. I tried searching it up earlier, but didn't find anything. Or maybe I just suck at searching.

I've been interested in exporting the Gear models to 3DS Max, since I want to try a machinima-like experiment. However, after searching high and low, I haven't been able to find a way to export the .x model files (plus UV mapped textures would be a bonus, but I'm not picky) to a format that Max will read. If anyone can shed some light on the subject, I would be most grateful.

Thanks a bunch.

Ive only had mild success with editing/exporting .x files from ACE. This is apparently because some .X files are text based and others are binary based. I've had better success with older armors such as the NPC shop armors.
