Before jumping into your “pet project” you’d be well advised to do the tutorials which ship with max. Max is a very big product and you’ll get lost very quickly if you don’t.

I don’t know what’s up with that image, but Paint Shop Pro says it’s not a valid jpeg - you might want to use a “normal” host (imageshack, yousendit etc).

Then do them slowly. If you don’t learn the basics (boring maybe, but absolutely essential) you’ll get stuck at every turn. As you are beginning to find out.

Yes, you can export to .ASE. Select your sword then File > Export Selected > Pick “ASCII Scene Export (*.ASE)” from the drop-down list.
