Project Manager
Version:
4.00.63
Date Updated:
06/29/2026 After a long stretch of development, Project Manager 4 is officially out — the biggest release in the product's history, and now with full 3ds Max 2027 support.
The headline is AI Asset Classification.
Your library gets sorted automatically — by object type, material, and style — no manual tagging.
Project Manager 4 — What's New Since v3
Changelog · 3ds Max 2016–2027
AI-Powered Asset Classification
- Automatic categorisation of 3D models by object type, material, form, and style — no manual tagging required
- Runs entirely on your machine — no cloud, no subscription, your assets never leave your computer
- GPU-accelerated background processing at low priority — won't interfere with rendering or active work
- Reclassify specific folders or categories on demand — no need to reprocess the entire library
- Scale across a team: multiple workstations share the same database and classify in parallel
Colour Tools
- Find assets by colour — pick from a palette and instantly see matching models or textures
- Perceptual colour similarity search — finds visually related assets, not just exact hex matches
- Find Similar by Colour in the right-click menu for models and textures
Find Similar
- Find similar by content — AI matches 3D models by style, shape, and visual look
- Find similar by colour palette — matches assets to a reference image or mood board by dominant colour proportions
Smarter Search & Filtering
- Multi-keyword search: "Chair, Glass" finds a file named Chair.max described as "glass"
- Category filter correctly includes all subcategories — filtering Furniture also returns Furniture → Chairs → Dining
- Combine category and material filters: find glass-and-metal tables, or wooden ones, in one click
- Categorised / Uncategorised quick filters — see which assets still need attention
Gallery & 3D File Browsing
- Three gallery tabs for .max files: Models, Materials, and External Links
- Drag materials directly from the gallery into your open 3ds Max scene
- 3D viewport preview for FBX, 3DS, OBJ, and other formats — inspect geometry before importing
- Edit external links inline — fix or replace missing textures without opening the .max file
- Zoom & Pan for images — inspect textures at full resolution inside Project Manager
Migration & Compatibility
- v3 and v4 share the same database format — point v4 at your existing library and go; no rebuild required
- Run v3 and v4 side by side on the same team; supported from 3ds Max 2016 through 2027
Performance & Other Fixes
- Significantly improved overall performance — faster navigation, filtering, search, and file/folder operations
- Live sync in shared database mode — changes by colleagues appear automatically without reloading

Quick Start Frequently Asked Questions
Main Features
- AI Asset Classification — automatically categorises 3D models by object type, material, form, and style. Runs entirely on your machine, no cloud or subscription required.
- Find similar by content — AI matches 3D models by style, shape, and visual look
- Find similar by colour palette — matches assets to a reference image or mood board by dominant colour proportions
- Search by external image — drop in any reference picture from outside your library (a render, a photo, a sketch) and instantly find the closest-matching models you already own. The image is analysed on the fly — nothing is added to your database
- Reference Sets — collect several reference images into a named set, tick the ones you want, and search against the whole mood board at once. Save sets and reuse them across sessions
- Colour Labels — tag assets with workflow statuses (Draft, Approved, In Review, Archived, Urgent) and filter by label. Ideal for team pipelines and asset QA.
- Easy to organise and browse 3ds Max Models, Materials, Textures, and IES Photometric Lights.
- Merge Models, Materials, Bitmaps, and IES using Drag & Drop.
- Three gallery tabs for .max files: Models, Materials, and External Links — drag materials directly into your open scene.
- Interactive rendering previews for Materials, IES Photometric, FBX, OBJ, 3DS, USD, BVH Motion Capture, and other 3D formats.
- Show native previews for 3ds Max files, ArchVision RPC, GrowFx, Revit, Substance, BIP Motion, SketchUp, HDRI, and more.
- Store and create Proxy objects with materials.
- Create PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials and support for Substance textures.
- Smart search by tags, keywords, categories, colours, and labels — with OR / AND filtering modes and instant results.
- Asset Tracking Management — edit external links inline, fix missing textures without opening the source file.
- Team database support — multiple workstations share one library with live sync; AI classification runs in parallel across the team.
- Supports all major renderers: V-Ray, Corona, Octane, Arnold, Redshift, Maxwell, and more.

>>When merging , please add feature object follow surface direction.
Ok, I will be add this possibility, but after the release of the final version
Now follow surface also work, but the object is always directed perpendicular to the ground.
This is useful for placing lamps and paintings on the walls.

You can manually open this Material library?
Please repost picture.

Chico Hermida You say that

You say that the original if for free but it costs 3X times this software (File Path Finder Pro)
I checked you product before buying FPPPro and yours is less feature packed.
ALso - Alex created a different product.

I Insist that you are wrong in giving it for free to people who bought FFPPro a year ago and before while charging me for using it for only 2 months.
Usually the recent buyers get to get upgrades cheaper or for free.
I asked people in the business and they were VERY surprised.
The 20 U$ is not much but I feel like being misled.
I urge you to re-consider the pricing scheme.
