XFormer earns its place in the ScriptSpot library by concentrating on one job — recovering object transformations — across 3ds Max 2016 to 2027.
XFormer is a 3ds Max tool from PolyTools3D that recovers the transformation of an object. It exists for the moments when an object's transformation has been reset, altered, or thrown off by import.
Three situations point to it. One is after a model's transformation matrix has been reset through Reset XForm. Another is when part of an object has been detached as a separate object. A third is when an imported model does not line up as expected. XFormer addresses each of these by recovering the object's transformation.
The tool is at version 2.6.1, last updated on 2026-04-03, and supports 3ds Max 2016 through 2027. It is listed here as free; see PolyTools3D's page at polytools3d.com for current licensing. Within the ScriptSpot library it sits at rank 238.
XFormer is best for 3ds Max artists who need to recover an object's transformation after a Reset XForm, a detach, or an import that lands out of alignment.
XFormer is completely free to download and use.
XFormer supports 3ds Max 2016 through 2027, so the 2027 release is covered. The current build is version 2.6.1, last updated on 2026-04-03, and any 3ds Max version within that 2016 to 2027 span falls inside the stated compatibility range. If you are running a release from outside those years, check PolyTools3D's page at polytools3d.com to confirm compatibility before you install the tool.
XFormer is listed here as free, and this catalog carries it as a free download. Licensing terms can change over time, so PolyTools3D's own page is the authority on current conditions. For the latest details, visit polytools3d.com. The plugin comes from PolyTools3D, carries a copyright spanning 2012 to 2026, and the current version listed here is 2.6.1 for 3ds Max 2016 through 2027.
XFormer recovers the transformation of an object, and a matrix cleared by Reset XForm is one of the cases it is made for. When Reset XForm has stripped an object's transformation data, the tool works to bring that transformation back. It is one of three scenarios the plugin covers, alongside detached geometry and misaligned imports. XFormer runs on 3ds Max 2016 through 2027 at version 2.6.1.
XFormer covers two transformation problems beyond a Reset XForm: an object created by detaching part of another object, and an imported model that does not sit aligned as expected. In both, it recovers the object's transformation. These sit among the scenarios PolyTools3D lists for the tool. XFormer is at version 2.6.1, last updated 2026-04-03, and supports 3ds Max 2016 through 2027.
