Earns its place in the scriptspot library for handling the 3ds Max to Unreal socket transfer directly, including the Y-axis flip, so props line up without manual string parsing.
Add Unreal Socket adds a point helper whose transform matches an existing Unreal skeleton or skeletal mesh socket, for aligning and linking props in 3ds Max. Socket data is copied from Unreal using a mouse and keyboard shortcut and pasted into the script UI, so there's no manual string parsing.
The script applies a link constraint to the point helper, assigns the parent bone as the target, then locks the transforms. It handles the Y-axis flip that comes from the 3ds Max to Unreal conversion. Socket data can also be saved to and loaded from text files in a folder you choose, and each output file is named after the socket you provide.
Version 1.0 is the first public release, compatible with 3ds Max 2020 through 2025. A Maya script version is also available from the developer.
Add Unreal Socket is best for aligning and linking props to Unreal skeleton or mesh sockets from within 3ds Max.
Add Unreal Socket is completely free to download and use.
Add Unreal Socket lists compatibility with 3ds Max 2020 through 2025, so 2025 is covered along with the releases back to 2020. It is distributed as an .mzp MAXScript package. If you run a version outside that range, check the developer's Gumroad page for current details before relying on it in production. Within the supported range, the script creates a point helper matching an Unreal skeleton or mesh socket and links it to the parent bone with transforms locked.
Add Unreal Socket is listed as free here in the catalog. For current licensing terms and any updates, check the developer's Gumroad page, which is the official source for the script. The download is distributed as an .mzp MAXScript package, and a separate Maya script version is also offered free. Pricing and terms can change over time, so the developer's page is the place to confirm before you download.
Add Unreal Socket has a Maya script version available from the developer on Gumroad, offered free. The Maya edition follows the same socket workflow, copying relative location and rotation values from the Unreal socket details and pasting them into the script, and it accounts for the Y-axis flip from Maya to Unreal conversion. If you work across both 3ds Max and Maya, the developer's page is where you can find the separate Maya download.
Add Unreal Socket handles the Y-axis flip that results from 3ds Max to Unreal conversion, so the point helper's transform aligns with the source socket. It applies a link constraint to the point helper, assigns the parent bone as the target, and locks the transforms once set. Socket data can also be saved to and loaded from text files in a folder you choose, with each output file named after the socket you provide.
