try changing the file name to what ever you want it to be. If you are wondering how do do this:
By default, windows does this stupid thing where it hides a files extension (last three letters) for files where it recognises the extension. This can make it hard for you to change an extension. Heres how to change this behaviour so you change any 'extension' you like...
Go to start> my computer and right click on local disk (C: ), then hit explore this will open an explorer window and go to 'tools/ folder options' to open a new settings dialouge box.
In the 'view' tab, in the advanced settings window, there is an option 'hide extensions for known file types'. Make sure that is off, then hit the button saying 'apply to all folders'.
All files you look at now, will show their extensions. Simply 'right click' and choose 'rename', to change the extension of a file.

Thats not how models work, I need a program that opens a certain type of file
called 3DS Max. My anit8r or blender program does none of those tasks.
