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

Relink Assets

Hi this is my version of a tool for relinking (missing) bitmaps which can not be found for whatever reasons (changed paths, moved files etc.). It is pretty straightforward and works with almost any type of asset (maps, HDRIs, IES files) as long as it can be referenced and seen in the asset browser. Due to copyright restrictions I can not publish the code right now but I hope that it can help you anyways until max itself has a better management for assets.

This can check all of the bitmaps in your scene if their sizes can be divided end by 2.

V-Ray Irradiance Map Pre Calc

This is a script I created to automatically setup your Irradiance Map for V-Ray. Basically you select what camera you want to render from, select what frame range, the path where you want your Irradience Maps to Generate to and the information automatically goes into your Irradiance settings. It will even create the file for you.

This is useful for companies that send many animations via network rendering by saving time in setting up your irradiances.

A simple script to remove the raytrace maps (Actually - replace them with empty bitmaps) from the scene's material library. This is for people using Vray/Mental ray as raytrace maps may (and will) slow down rendering times considerably

VrayColorTool

The vrayColorTool will insert vraycolormaps into every available textureslot in the diffusechannel of a material. The new vraycolormap will hold the appropriate colorvalue. This wil enable artists to convert materials to a gamma-oriented workflow. The script will also remove the vraycolormaps if needed.
