Max files are herder becaus ethet would mean maya could understand all teht max fikles contain, wich cant be the case untill mayqa has all the same features as max.
BUT try using fbx. Unfortunatley its called import for a reason, not everything works. Youll find this across teh board you never have a expiorter that could do it all. Because if you would there would be no difference between software. There is much more difference than juts gui.
