1. It handles .x and .dbo formats best.
2. I am pretty sure (~90%) that 3ds max can export .x, but I don't use 3ds max.

Insanity is just a state of mind.

You'd first export it to the directory you want it, then save a DBP project, and load the world from the directory using "load object "[object path]", [object number]". For example:

Then there's a ton of object manipulation commands such as scaling the object, positioning the object, rotating the object, etc. that you can find by pressing F1 in DBP and looking under "Commands" then "Basic 3D Commands". And no need to apologize, you seem to be starting out about 10 times better than most noobs do here . Hope that helped .
