Runs on 3ds Max 2010 and later, currently at version 1.8. The mouse-driven list actions, right-click to open a folder and middle-click to remove, keep batch management quick. Listed here as free.
miauu's Batch Save/Export OBJ/FBX/3DS/MAX as OBJ/FBX/3DS/MAX files handles batch saving and exporting inside 3ds Max. It works with selected OBJ, FBX, 3DS or MAX files and writes them out as OBJ, FBX, 3DS or MAX. Only files whose checkboxes are turned on get processed and saved as MAX files, and you can choose the 3ds Max version the MAX files are saved to. The UI can be resized.
Files can be gathered two ways. The Get Directory button selects every OBJ/FBX/3DS/MAX file in a chosen folder, and if that folder has sub-folders the script asks whether to load the files in the sub-folders as well. The Get File(s) button lets you pick files directly, with multiple selection so you can open a folder and select several at once.
The file list responds to mouse actions. Right-clicking a file name opens its folder in Windows Explorer, and middle-clicking removes that file from the list. A Show Full Path checkbox switches between the full path and the file name only, with names shown by default.
miauu's Batch Save/Export OBJ/FBX/3DS/MAX as OBJ/FBX/3DS/MAX files is best for 3ds Max users who need to batch save or export sets of OBJ, FBX, 3DS or MAX files.
miauu's Batch Save/Export OBJ/FBX/3DS/MAX as OBJ/FBX/3DS/MAX files is completely free to download and use.
miauu's Batch Save/Export script is compatible with 3ds Max 2010 and later, so it covers a long span of releases. When saving MAX files, you can also choose which 3ds Max version they are written to, which helps if you need output that opens in an older build. The current release is version 1.8, last updated in June 2023. For the latest details, check the developer's page at miauu-maxscript.com.
miauu's Batch Save/Export script offers two ways to build the list. The Get Directory button selects every OBJ, FBX, 3DS or MAX file in a chosen folder, and if that folder contains sub-folders the script asks whether to load their files too. The Get File(s) button lets you pick files directly and supports multiple selection, so you can open a folder and grab several at once. Only files whose checkboxes are turned on get processed.
miauu's Batch Save/Export script processes only the files whose checkboxes are turned on, so you can keep a long list loaded and run just the ones you need. Managing that list is quick: right-clicking a file name opens its folder in Windows Explorer, and middle-clicking removes the file from the list. A Show Full Path checkbox toggles between the full path and the file name only, with names shown by default.
