I have used 3DS Max on a daily basis for almost 10 years now and I took an interest in MAXScript almost immediately. The learning process was slow but I was able to pick the brains of my very talented colleagues. I began by studying 3ds Max’s ‘Listener’ and with time and confidence I tentatively created short scripts of my own. Many years later, and with a lot of help from my friends, I am in the fortunate position of being able to create my very own 3ds Max tools.

Most of my scripts are workflow improvements in an effort to avoid repetitive tasks. With any luck, they may save you some time too.

Small collections of MacroScripts for 3ds max 6-8 - intended as keyboard shortcuts.

Contains two types of actions:
1.) Toggles - that will open a dialog upon keypress and also close it
2.) MouseOver viewport shortcuts - that work without explicit viewport activation
[Inspired by scripts from Roger Hyde and Martijn van Herk]

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.

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
