Project Manager earns its place in the ScriptSpot library for putting a local AI classification engine at the centre of 3ds Max asset management, with colour and visual-similarity search that runs without cloud or subscription.
Project Manager from Kstudio organises 3ds Max libraries of Models, Materials, Textures, IES lights, Proxies and more. Its local AI engine classifies 3D models by object type, material, form, and style with no manual tagging. Everything runs on your own machine — no cloud, no subscription — and GPU-accelerated background processing runs at low priority so it won't interfere with rendering or active work.
Find Similar matches models by content — style, shape, and visual look — or by colour palette against a reference image or mood board. Colour Search pulls up matching models and textures from a palette using perceptual similarity, and you can drop in any external reference picture to find the closest matches you already own. Multi-keyword search, combined category and material filters, and Categorised/Uncategorised quick filters help narrow results.
Three gallery tabs handle .max Models, Materials, and External Links, with a 3D viewport preview for FBX, 3DS, OBJ, and other formats. Version 4 supports 3ds Max 2016 through 2027, shares the v3 database format so no rebuild is required, and adds live sync in shared database mode across a team.
Project Manager is best for 3ds Max artists managing large asset libraries who want automatic classification and search by colour or visual similarity, including teams sharing one database.
Project Manager is completely free to download and use.
Project Manager runs its AI asset classification entirely on your machine, with no cloud and no subscription, so your assets never leave your computer. When you search by an external reference image, the picture is analysed on the fly and nothing is added to your database. Classification uses GPU-accelerated background processing at low priority, so it won't interfere with rendering or active work, and you can reclassify specific folders or categories on demand rather than reprocessing the entire library.
Project Manager 4 uses the same database format as version 3, so you can point v4 at your existing library and go, with no rebuild required. Version 3 and version 4 can also run side by side on the same team, supported from 3ds Max 2016 through 2027. In shared database mode, live sync means changes made by colleagues appear automatically without reloading, and multiple workstations can share one database and classify in parallel.
Project Manager's Find Similar matches 3D models by content — style, shape, and visual look — or by colour palette, matching assets to a reference image or mood board by dominant colour proportions. Colour Search lets you pick from a palette and instantly see matching models or textures, using perceptual colour similarity rather than exact hex matches. You can also drop in any external reference picture, such as a render, photo, or sketch, and find the closest-matching models you already own.
Project Manager is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms, editions, and any conditions of use, check the developer's page. The plugin is developed by Kstudio and runs locally, with no subscription required for its AI asset classification. Version 4.00.63 is the current release, updated on 2026-06-29, with support spanning 3ds Max 2016 through 2027, and its classification, colour search, and find-similar tools all work without a cloud connection.
