MaxShell creates an inner shell which can be used to hollow out the models. It is useful for reducing the volume of the model in case the model is 3D printed. 

Less volume means less material, faster printing and less cost. 

Additional Info: 

MaxShell is a MaxScript for Autodesk 3ds Max.

MaxShell creates an inner shell which can be used to hollow out the models. It is useful for reducing the volume of the model in case the model is 3D printed. Less volume means less material, faster printing and less cost.

It can also be useful where the usual shell modifier does not work well, such as for organic models. Or it can be used to create vases and anything that needs to be hollow. Supported versions of 3ds Max are 2014-2019.

How to use?

  1. Pick the model.
  2. Place the seed inside it.
  3. Click the Build Shell button.
  4. Click the Flip and Attach button.

The model is hollowed now.

Supported versions of 3ds Max are 2014-2019.

Get MaxShell from Autodesk App Store.

I'm definitely going to get this one. Very useful for anyone who does 3d printing with 3dsmax. Will save a ton of time.
