Frequently asked questions

What 3ds Max versions does Stereo Camera support?

Stereo Camera supports Autodesk 3ds Max 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027. This version specifically requires one of those releases to run, so it covers the current lineup as well as older installations still in use. The plug-in is available in English only. If you are on a version outside that range, check the developer's page for a build that matches your installation before downloading.

Is Stereo Camera free to use?

Stereo Camera is listed here as free. Licensing and distribution terms can change, so for the current details it is best to check the developer's page on the Autodesk app store. One capability, the Active stereo mode, is noted as exclusively available to Autodesk 3ds Max 2017 subscribers, so access to certain features may depend on your subscription rather than the plug-in on its own.

What hardware does the Active stereo mode need?

Stereo Camera's Active stereo mode is intended for users with a recent AMD FirePro graphics card and a supported HD3D Active Stereo monitor or equivalent. This mode is exclusively available to Autodesk 3ds Max 2017 subscribers. If you do not have that hardware, the plug-in also includes a Passive Stereo viewing mode, so stereo work is still possible without the FirePro and HD3D setup.

Is Stereo Camera available in languages other than English?

Stereo Camera is available in English only. If your 3ds Max interface runs in another language, the plug-in's own options and labels will still present in English, so it is worth knowing that before adding it to a non-English workflow. The tool creates stereoscopic camera rigs regardless, but the interface language itself is fixed. For questions about localization or future language support, the developer's page on the Autodesk app store is the best place to check.
