Why we like it

PolySorter earns its place in the scriptspot library as a focused automation tool for the download-to-library grind, pairing general archive handling with dedicated support for 3Dsky filename IDs.

What is PolySorter?

PolySorter is a 3ds Max automation utility built to take the manual work out of organizing 3D asset downloads. It handles the download-to-library workflow, with one-click extraction of complex nested archives in .zip, .rar, and .7z formats directly into your library.

Once extracted, PolySorter creates a structured folder layout for each asset, placing textures, lights, and proxies into dedicated sub-folders. It removes clutter such as promotional PDFs, URLs, and redundant text files, and renames files along with their accompanying images to keep an asset browser consistent. It works with archives from any library or source, and can process an entire download queue in a single batch session.

A set of complimentary helper features targets 3Dsky downloads: PolySorter recognizes 3Dsky numeric IDs in filenames, routes assets into designated category folders such as Furniture, Lighting, and Decor, and fetches preview images by asset ID. These depend on the source website remaining accessible. PolySorter only processes filenames, so your models and textures stay on your local drive.

Who is PolySorter best for?

PolySorter is best for archViz artists and 3ds Max users who download large volumes of assets and want them extracted, sorted, and renamed into a structured library automatically.

How much does PolySorter cost?

PolySorter is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which archive formats does PolySorter extract?

PolySorter extracts .zip, .rar, and .7z archives, including complex nested archives, directly into your library with a single click. Instead of manually unzipping files and digging through layers of sub-folders, you point it at your downloads and it unpacks them in place. From there it builds a structured folder layout for each asset, sorting textures, lights, and proxies into dedicated sub-folders. It is built to work with archives from any library or source, so you are not tied to a single download provider.

What are the 3Dsky helper features in PolySorter?

PolySorter includes a set of complimentary helper features aimed at 3Dsky downloads. It recognizes the unique 3Dsky numeric IDs embedded in downloaded filenames, then routes each asset into a designated category folder such as Furniture, Lighting, or Decor based on that ID. It also uses the asset ID to fetch and associate preview images for your models. These are provided as a value-add, and their availability depends on the source website remaining accessible, so they may not always be usable.

Does PolySorter upload my files anywhere?

PolySorter follows a zero-upload policy: your 3D models and textures never leave your machine. It only processes filenames to identify and sort your assets, and everything stays on your local drive. The exception is the 3Dsky preview-image feature, which fetches images by asset ID and therefore depends on the source website being reachable. Aside from that lookup, the extraction, sorting, and clean-up work all happens locally against the files already sitting in your downloads folder.

Is PolySorter free to use?

PolySorter is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details it is best to check the developer's page at archcg.my. The tool is published by cmjohncheng of ArchCG Studio, a studio based in Malaysia. For a look at how the extraction and sorting workflow runs, a demo video is also available on the developer's channel.
