You need 3d Studio Max v3 (or v4 and use the Nif2Nif tool), ther are other programs such as GMax and Milkshape, but they do not have a nif exporter

um k since ill bet nobody checks this fourm can a staff member plz tell me that there is a way to get .gmax to .nif because if not i might as well give up now.

The only way I know of is to export it in a format for 3dsmax and send it to someone to port it for you.
