Pulley Belt

10 votes

Technically you can probably call it a rounded isosceles trapezoid but it will be more useful as a base for path of bicycle chains or pulley belts. When both radii are the same and spline set to renderable, it could also be used as a simple chain link.

Isolate Track

Isolate Track

When an object has several “object keyframes” of different parameters at the same frame time (e.g. a morpher with multiple targets, or baseObject’s radius and segments animated), all of these keyframes are displayed as one “grey object key” in the timeline.

Isolate Track popups (under mouse cursor) a rollout that displays all the animatable tracks of the current modifier stack selection, and quickly isolates the selected track keyframes in the timeline.

Project Manager

597 votes

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 and textures 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
