miauu's Drag&Drop Pro makes file handling in 3ds Max faster and smarter by adding intelligent drag-and-drop functionality for assets, proxies, and materials.
What can it do when you drop files and folders from Windows Explorer into 3ds Max?
- Automatically relink all missing textures on file drop.
- Instantly open dropped proxy files in the viewport.
- Supported proxy formats: V-Ray, Corona, and FStorm.
- If a matching .mat file exists in the same folder, it is auto-assigned to the proxy*.
- When dropping a .mat, .jpg, or .png file, the matching proxy file* loads automatically.
- Apply materials to the object under your mouse when dropping a .mat file.
- Drop a shortcut (.lnk) file — and it opens the file it points to.
- Extract Archives (.7z, .zip, .rar) and process the extracted supported files.
- Drop .mat files into the Slate Material Editor to open the materials from those files.
- "Create Layer Per File": Places objects from each merged .max file into a new layer named after the file.
- Group objects by dropped file. The group name matches the dropped file's name.
- Offset the contents of dropped files to prevent overlap.
*The proxy file, .mat file, and thumbnail file must have the same name. For example:
myProxy_Corona.cgeo, myProxy_Corona.mat, myProxy_Corona.jpg
myProxy_Vray.cgeo, myProxy_Vray.mat, myProxy_Vray.jpg
myProxy_Fstorm.cgeo, myProxy_Fstorm.mat, myProxy_Fstorm.jpg
myProxy_Vray.cgeo, myProxy_Vray.mat, myProxy_Vray.jpg
myProxy_Fstorm.cgeo, myProxy_Fstorm.mat, myProxy_Fstorm.jpg
