Has anybody ever heard of this program, It is a 3d modeling program and it is free, I just downloaded it, and it looks not unlike 3ds max.
It is made by the same company, but I got it off of turbosquid. Following a 3ds max Tutorial, so far, all the controlls are the same.

But instead of saving it as .max, it is .gmax

Heard of it. Had some problems with ATI cards (font was not readable)
Haven't tried it in ages so I don't know if this is still an issue.

Last time I heard, it couldn't export to useful formats like .x or .b3d, Only .gmax

I don't think you can legally export from GMax to anything else, even if you could find an exporter to do it. It's a cutdown version of 3DS Max aimed at training people or something, and although it's free I don't think you are allowed to use it for anything game or production related.

well it does export to 3ds, and i have no clue about that other stuff, but the place i got it said that it was used in dungeon seige. also, on the autodesk site it says it was discontinued, and they did not have a place to download it

GMAX was originally designed to be included with games that used Max for the modeling.
A company could licence it, so you could write mods for the game it came with.
I beleive it was included in a couple of Microsoft sims, and one of ID's games, Possibably Quake 3.
