One-Step Copy & Relink (Bitmap Path Manager)

One-Step Copy & Relink is a workflow utility that consolidates two tedious texture-management tasks into a single operation. It scans your scene for all bitmap-based maps — standard BitmapTexture, VRayBitmap, and VRayHDRI — then copies the source files to a destination folder of your choice while simultaneously relinking the materials to a different target folder using a new file extension.

V-Ray to Standard Converter (Materials & HDRI Maps)

V-Ray to Standard Converter is a lightweight scene-migration script that strips V-Ray dependencies out of a 3ds Max file in a single pass. It scans the scene for every VRayHDRI map and VRayMtl material, then replaces them with their native 3ds Max equivalents — BitmapTexture and Standard material — while preserving names, file paths, and the most common texture slot assignments.

It is a Vray version of my script "Corona Automator" It has a lot of features for materials, bitmaps ,cameras, lights and proxies.

Its main goal is to automate property tweaking, and save time on repetitive tasks.

for now the material part is focused on Vray Materials , it won't work on other kind of materials like fastSSS or other materials.

Using the FilePathFinder you can be sure that you have complete control over external links into your scenes.

Asset tracking features include support for XREF files and easy linking with external files.

Using the FilePathFinder (and Batch Render&Relink), you can search for missing assets and relink external files.

In addition, files that are linked to selected objects are displayed in Interactive Mode, and bitmap textures can be toggled and placed within the Material Editor.

Also with this tool, you can easily make an archive a 3ds Max scene.

Note that FilePathFinder supports the highest number of asset types of any plug-in.

 

The Batch Render&Relink tool helps manage your asset files into the 3D model and material libraries in Batch Mode.

BR&R is capable of rendering thumbnails for 3D models, materials, and IES photometric files.

Batch Mode makes for an easy way to gather and compile many assets at once.

The new version of FilePathFinder is released with support to 3ds Max 2026

and many new features that improve managing scene assets

ShivaTools: Image to Base64 String

If you're a 3ds Max scripter, you've probably wondered how to avoid dragging logos and icons as separate files and embed them directly into your script. So, I made a convenient Base64 encoder for Dotnet for myself and decided to share it with everyone.

Relink Bitmaps

Relink Bitmaps is a script to easily relink all missing files (Bitmaps, VRayMeshes, Mental Ray Proxies, VRayHDRI, IES, etc) when they change directories or when you move computers, check out the short video tutorial below for more detailed information.

Unlike some other scripts of its kind, this is free!  There is a small donation link within the script if you choose to donate, I will remove the nag.  It is a simple licensing system, that does not force you to transfer network cards or be connected to the internet and will work with all versions of Max that are supported by the script.  If you choose to donate I'll be more than happy to license multiple computers as well.

Features:

[*] All 3dsmax supported Bitmap Texture types
[*] (new) Relinks Mental Ray Proxy files
[*] (new) Relinks VRay Proxies (.vrmesh)
[*] (new) Relinks VRayHDRI files
[*] (new) Relinks IES files (including VRayIES files)
[*] (new) Automatically checks for script updates and new versions
[*] 250% speed increase from previous versions
[*] Command-line mode available for automating repetative tasks (see documentation on the website)
[*] Configurable default user options saving button clicks and wasted time

Supported Max versions: Max 2018+
(Older versions should work, but are not supported moving forward)

3dsMax Script for Converting Complex Map to 1 Bitmap

The Results is not Very Accurate because of replacing some maps like Falloff (with its submap or color correction)

* This Kind of Maps "Like Falloff" should not be rendered with RenderMap .

So It is intended to be used for exporting purposes .

-The 3 EditText Fields are (Exclude Classes, Replace Classes, Reference Classes) .

- Sometimes you need to run it more than once and do convert (May I fix this in future) .
