gMax is a freeware 3D editor created by former Discreet (now Autodesk). Although based on the 3ds max application, it is made specifically for game designers/modders. Whereas 3ds max is feature-rich, gmax only contains the very core modeling, animation, and material editing features in 3ds max, and is mildly expandable through the use of game packs, which contain tools relevant to the game content is being created for. While lacking the ability to use importer/exporter plugins made for its big brother, it retains the MAXscript scripting system which can still gather data from the current scene and export it to a file.
