Why we like it

MultiSub Organizer earns its place in the scriptspot library as a focused utility for keeping Multi/Sub-Object materials and their Face IDs organized and in sync. This is version v1.00.00, last updated 2026-05-05.

What is MultiSub Organizer?

MultiSub Organizer is a tool from pixamoon for 3ds Max, built to organize large Multi/Sub-Object materials alongside the Face IDs they are linked to within EditPoly or EditMesh. It presents a material list you load by selecting a material in the Material Editor and clicking 'From Material', then works with its IDs and the faces assigned to them.

The tool keeps materials and geometry aligned through synchronized ID updates, applying a new ID to both the material and its linked Face IDs at once. You target changes with the Mtls and Faces checkboxes, assign IDs from number buttons, and sort the list by Slot, ID, Name, Material Name, or Material Class. Bidirectional selection lets you select faces by ID and find objects linked with a material.

Statistics and diagnostics round out the list: face counts per ID, object counts per material, and error tracking that highlights unassigned Face IDs in red. It can list several Multi/Sub-Object materials at once, though for applying new IDs the developer recommends handling one material at a time.

Who is MultiSub Organizer best for?

MultiSub Organizer is best for 3ds Max artists working with large Multi/Sub-Object materials and their linked Face IDs in EditPoly or EditMesh.

How much does MultiSub Organizer cost?

MultiSub Organizer is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does MultiSub Organizer work with EditPoly and EditMesh in 3ds Max?

MultiSub Organizer is designed to work with Multi/Sub-Object materials and their linked Face IDs inside EditPoly or EditMesh in 3ds Max. Both editing contexts are supported, so you can manage the connection between materials and their assigned faces. To load a material, you select it in the Material Editor and click 'From Material', after which the tool lists the material's IDs and the faces linked to them for you to organize and update.

Can MultiSub Organizer update the material and Face IDs at the same time?

MultiSub Organizer applies a new ID to both the material and the linked Face IDs simultaneously through its synchronized ID updates, keeping geometry and shaders in sync. You set the target using the Mtls and Faces checkboxes at the top-right: check Mtls to apply changes to the Multi/Sub-Object materials, and check Faces to apply changes to the Face IDs on the objects. To assign, you select a list item and press the desired ID number button in the top-middle.

Can MultiSub Organizer handle more than one Multi/Sub-Object material at a time?

MultiSub Organizer can list multiple Multi/Sub-Object materials at the same time, giving you an overview across several materials in one place. For applying new IDs, though, the developer recommends working with a single Multi/Sub-Object material at a time. The tool highlights the ID buttons only for IDs used within the currently active Multi/Sub-Object material, so it stays clear which IDs belong to the material you are editing at that moment.

How does MultiSub Organizer sort materials?

MultiSub Organizer offers flexible sorting that organizes the materials list by Slot, ID, Name, Material Name, or Material Class. You can apply a new sort to the Multi/Sub-Object material with one click. To sort by ID specifically, you click the ID column header, then apply that order to the material by right-clicking the list and choosing 'Apply sort to material' from the menu. This keeps the on-screen list order and the material itself consistent.

Is MultiSub Organizer free?

MultiSub Organizer is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing on the developer's page may differ, so check the pixamoon product page for the current terms before relying on any specific arrangement. The developer notes that each license activates on one PC, and activation details are sent by an automated email shortly after purchase, which is why entering a correct email address during checkout matters.
