Version:
3.35.75
Date Updated:
07/29/2024 3rd version of Project Manager gains a lot of new features to manage 3D Assets.
What is most unique to the new features – is the ability to assign custom previews to materials, associate files with materials, and create a gallery of files associated with any type of assets including materials.
You can also write a description for materials and, of course, assign categories to materials.
Enhanced Organization and Filtering:
- Granular Filtering: Effortlessly filter your models by various criteria, including 3Ds Max version, renderer, comments, category, and even image preview status. This allows you to quickly locate specific assets within your library.
Proxy Preview Customization:
- Fine-Tuned Previews: Take control of the level of detail displayed in your Proxy previews within the viewport. This lets you optimize the balance between preview quality and performance.

Teamwork Efficiency Boost:
- Improved Database Performance: Experience smoother and faster operation when working with large databases within teams. Project Manager has been optimized to handle extensive asset libraries seamlessly.
Bug Fixes and Optimizations:
- Fixes Galore: This update addresses a multitude of issues reported by users. Resolved problems include bugs with the Mass-Rename tool, Auto-Assign preview functionality, external scene link renaming, relinking assets with excluded directories, and relinking large scenes.
- Upgrade and Migration Smoothness: Enjoy a more streamlined experience when upgrading from Project Manager version 2.
- Copy/Paste Reliability: The copy/paste functionality for assets has been enhanced for improved robustness.
- Multi-Category Selection: Select multiple categories with ease to further refine your asset filtering.
- Custom Script Execution (API): Issues with executing custom scripts (#Relink, #RelinkPreSave, and #RelinkPostSave) used in Batch Render & Relink workflows have been resolved.
- Database Import: Fixes an issue with database importing when converting from DesignConnected via SQLite to MySQL/MariaDB.
- Format Conversion: The process of converting selected files to other 3D formats has been optimized for better performance.

i can not imagine another way
wont it return to normal speed after it is added to database?
besides it can support jpg+rar = item eventhough i dont fancy that. as drap and drop operation not possible...
It probably to make. But it
It probably to make.
But it will very strongly slow the folder opening.
and also
[ "scene_01.jpg" + "scene_01\scene_01.max" ] as item
Hello Track,
I have been testing and old PM version i have a suggestion that will make exploration much better than it is ...Not sure about its current state.
Project Manager should also treat [ folder\file.jpg+file.max ] as item.
example:(big image)
Drag ProjectManager.mzp file
Drag ProjectManager.mzp file into viewport, check "Uninstall" and press button "Next" for uninstall.
Or manually delete CacheStart.mse from "scripts\startup\" directory and "ProjectManager" folder from "c:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\2011 - 64bit\enu\scripts\TrackScripts\" directory.
The "Project Manager"does not make any changes to the scene, you can open the same scene as on a computer without "Project Manager" as with "Project Manager".
I'm scared
So it appears that once you build a scene with PM installed that scene is tide to PM.
I used the PM mzp to uninstall. My scene opened fine before uninstalling PM. But now I get an error looking for PM related things. Also the render freaks out.
-Can you TOTAL uninstall PM?
-Dose PM write to the .max scene file?
Thanks for any help.
