3ds Max Plugins

DesignToolBox is a collection of modeling tools for 3ds Max, built to accelerate and simplify basic modeling tasks for architectural models, furniture design, and other work where accurate modeling is needed.

JTB FlexReport LT is a freeware add-in from JTB World for 3ds Max that creates HTML reports on current usage of FlexNet/FLEXlm network licenses. Autodesk Network License Manager and other FlexNet vendors are supported.

Sweep Profile is a 3ds Max tool from KSTUDIO for building architectural profiles with the Sweep modifier. It ships with pre-made profiles and lets you add your own from the scene or a folder.

SplineOffset is a modifier for Autodesk 3ds Max that clones and offsets splines, creating multiple clones with incremental offset, translation, and rotation. It works fully non-destructively and can heal overlapping splines.

Color Edge is a procedural texture map for 3ds Max that creates colour gradients along the visible edges of an object. Define edge visibility with built-in Edit Mesh tools, then set near and far edge colours to build the gradient.

FAST ARCHITECTURE Trial is a procedural mesh object for 3ds Max that generates architectural structures with parameters you can adjust in real time. It creates an FA_Building object usable like any standard 3ds Max object.

Relink Bitmaps is a 3ds Max script for relinking missing assets — bitmaps, VRay proxies, VRayHDRI, IES files and Mental Ray proxies — when files change directories or you move to a new computer.

AR-media, developed by Inglobe Technologies, exports Autodesk 3ds Max models directly into the AR-media Studio platform, where you can create Augmented and Virtual Reality experiences and add events, interactions, digital assets and media.

Forensic is a scene-cleanup and diagnostics app from SiNi Software for 3ds Max that interrogates 3D scenes, removes CAD and Revit blocks, unifies normals, and searches for and removes malicious MAXScripts, ADL, CRP and ADSL.

Scatter by SiNi Software is a free 3ds Max tool for distributing 3D geometry across large surfaces. Add objects, proxies and cache files, then use a distribution map that can place up to one million points.

V-RayMax Converter PRO is a 3ds Max script that converts materials, maps, lights, cameras, proxies and render elements from various render engines to V-Ray, and from V-Ray to Corona Renderer. It also outputs Standard, Physical, PBR/OpenPBR and glTF materials.

BakeRadiosity is a 3ds Max plugin that converts an Adaptive Subdivision result into a new mesh object and bakes the lighting calculation onto its vertices, so the GI effect carries into real-time viewing.

Dark Listener enables dark mode for the 3ds Max listener, switching it on automatically at startup. The darker background is easier on the eyes and reduces eye strain during late-night work, with no manual setup after install.

Explode Geometry is a 3ds Max plug-in that breaks one or more selected scene nodes into individual three- or four-sided faces, with options to add modifiers and refine the resulting geometry.

Chaos Corona 9 is an (un)biased photorealistic renderer for 3ds Max from Chaos Czech, focused on ease of use. This release adds Procedural Clouds, Corona Pattern geometry tiling, and out-of-core rendering for Corona Bitmaps.

The industry-standard scattering plugin for creating vast amounts of geometry — trees, grass, crowds and more.

Photographic Composition guides is a 3ds Max tool that draws photographic grids, references, and perspective lines in the viewport. Create quadrants, rule of thirds, custom grids, golden proportions, and golden ratio rectangles or spiral, with selectable guide colors.

Sketchfab for Autodesk 3ds Max publishes your models directly to the Sketchfab web service in a few clicks, handling the exporting, zipping and uploading so you skip the manual steps.

Project Manager is an asset library tool for 3ds Max that classifies 3D models automatically by type, material, form, and style using a local AI engine, with search by colour, visual similarity, and name.

Spline Check is a free diagnostic plugin for 3ds Max from SIMPOLIUM that finds and displays open splines in the viewport, detects self-intersections, and reports the total segment count of a spline.

MOICON Digital Twin, listed for 3ds Max, uses Autodesk Forge and digital twinning technology to organize manufacturing data from machines, components, sensors, devices and workers into easy-to-read, instantly available breakdowns the whole operation can reference.

Para 3d, developed by Parametric Zoo, is a collection of Level 2 scripted plug-ins for Autodesk 3ds Max and 3ds Max Design that lets users interact with and manipulate MaxScript functions to create rule-based design and animation.

PolyUnwrapper is a set of professional UV tools for 3ds Max, built by PolyTools3D for texture artists in the architectural and game industries. It gathers features aimed at improving the unwrapping workflow inside the program.

AdvArray is a parametric array modifier for Autodesk 3ds Max, which ships without one by default. It adds advanced array features beyond the built-in tools, including some not found in other third-party modifiers.
