Earns its place in the Autodesk App Store library for handling triangulated, quad, and other GLTF formats while keeping geometry, scale, and textures intact. A recent update added 3ds Max 2027 support and resolved a transparency import issue.
ProtoTech's GLTF Importer for 3ds Max imports GLTF files directly into 3ds Max, preserving geometry, scale, and textures for accurate design representation. It handles triangular mesh data and works with triangulated, quad, and other GLTF formats.
Texture import retains and applies textures from GLTF files, while color import preserves original colors during import. A Low-Size Import option is optimized to bring models into 3ds Max without bloating file size. The plugin supports 3ds Max 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027, and runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 only. An automation license lets you call a function to export a file without user intervention.
This is the trial edition, and you'll need to activate the paid version after 30 trials or a 15-day trial period; no activation key is required during the trial. The license is perpetual, with all updates free for the first year, and it installs through a custom installer rather than the standard App Store installer.
