Isn't that what you're supposed to do -- go from COLLADA to the various CryEngine formats?

I'm getting the sphere thing, too (is yours pale blue?), but only when I try to convert a parent-child set (for the LOD stuff).

Thanks, but the problem is that Max is just too expensive, end of story. I mean, I could scrounge up the $3500 if I really needed it... but I'd be dropping a huge chunk of money so that I can better use a platform that may not even prove profitable. That's not economical or wise. And I'm cheap, too: I'm someone who considers $200 to be about the upper bounds of what I'd pay for software. For 3.5 grand, a program had better clean my house and crap gold nuggets.
