Hi, I just installed 3DS max and got a CMX-3DS converter.. but I can't find where the .cmx files are located in the live for speed directory..

Download the CMX viewer from liveforspeed.net and install that into a new directory (NOT into your LFS directory!). In there you'll find the CMXs

Ok, thanks... but my cmx converter kinda doesn't work. Does anybody know of a converter or an importer?

which version of 3dsmax are you using?

autodesk 3ds max 8

that may be why, i believe it was made only for 7, and i remember a few other people had problems running it in 8 back in RSC (the old forum)

Ok.. I successfully imported it, but I have no idea how to apply the skin to the car model.. Any help would be appreciated

cmx importer worked for my 3ds8...

Search on this forum and you will find a nice good tutorial on how to render lfs cars.

i suggest you learn how to use 3dsmax if you just got it...

there are so many tutorials out there, there is almost no point in even telling someone how to do it anymore; mainly because 1, there is just way to much to say in a short paragraph (the LFS tutorial isn't that great.. you still have to know what your doing in 3dsmax) 2, there are so many features in 3dsmax that you need to learn beforehand (such as lighting techniques, render settings, materials etc.)
