I'm looking for script to import the whole folder of 3ds models into the max scene.
Anyone knows this kind of tool?

(
	fn importEntireDir theDir wildStr =
	(
	setWaitCursor()
	if theDir!=undefined then
	(
		local fname=theDir+"\\"+wildStr
		local fArr=getFiles fname
		if fArr.count!=0 then
		(
			for f in fArr do
			(
				try(
					format "Importing: %\n" f
					importFile f #noprompt
				)catch( print "failure while importing the files")
			)
		)
	)
	setArrowCursor()
	)

	importEntireDir "C:\3dsmax08\export" "*.3ds"
)

edit the bottom line where it says ' importEntireDir "C:\3dsmax08\export" "*.3ds" ' to suit what/where you are looking to mass import.
