FilePathFinder Pro & Light versions

Kstudio — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 15:19:51 +0000

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 2025

and many new features that improve managing scene assets

Material Texture Loader

DMZScripts — Sun, 17 Mar 2019 16:49:09 +0000

The Material Texture Loader allows for instant adavanced PBR material creation.

By loading in textures the script can automatically creating a complete material setup for you. You can live edit the material by changing settings, like texture channel inputs, material slot assignments, advanced mapping and material parameters.

Features

Texture channel regonition based on industry standard name filters and customizable names.
Create all required maps with correct gamma for each corresponding material channel.
Live texture loading and map editing, like Composite maps for AO and Bump maps, Color Correction map for diffuse, Triplanar, Real-world and random rotation mapping, Blur filtering, IOR and Material ID and more.
UDIM texture set support (Arnold and Fstrom not yet supported)
Link Mapping and Coordinates for all bitmap and triplanar maps of the same material.
Easily apply materials to Selected object, Material editor or Drag and Drop functionality.
Add displacement and UVW Map modifiers and control the displacement height and offset.
Vray, Corona, Redshift, Arnold, FStorm, Physical, Octane and Standard texture maps and materials are fully supported.

Content Browser

DMZScripts — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 12:04:16 +0000

The Content Browser helps you quickly browse and import 3D assets on your computer.

Load any folder accessible on your machine and the Content Browser will find any materials, hdri’s, models, and max files. It will group, organize and display these files as assets, recognizing previews, LODs, mapping channels, resolutions and other important information automatically.

It simplifies the importing and merging process for 3d models, max files, material creation and hdri environment maps by allowing you to directly browse, filter and drag all of your 3D assets from sources like MegaScans, PolyHaven, gameTextures, Poliigon, Arroway into 3ds max viewport or material editor.

Main Features

Load any folder and find 3D models, max files, materials and hdri’s.
Show grouped files as assets, group matching assets and find preview images.
Drag and Drop asset into the 3ds max viewport or the Slate Material Editor
Import assets to Slate and Compact Material Editors
Default Merge and Import 3d files and max scenes, with automatic relinking filepaths
Choose LODs/resolution/variations and Import multiple assets at once
Folder hierarchy, File list and Preview Gallery

Proxy Textures

rode3d — Fri, 13 Mar 2020 15:04:06 +0000

Quickly optimize your textures for viewport performance and fast rendering!

Description

Proxy Textures is a 3dsMax plugin to automatically create low resolution versions of your textures, to speed up your work on heavily loaded scenes.

Advanced UV Normalizer

PolyTools3D — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 15:01:17 +0000

Advanced UV Normalizer (AUVN) is a tool for normalizing the Texel Density across different objects.

It has a comprehensive set of features to calculate, get, set and modify the Texel Density of your models based on different parameters such as Geometry Area, Texture Area, UV Area as well as the Geometry/Pixels and Geometry/UVs Ratios.

The Texel Density can be set using a fixed texture size, or you can assign different AUVN textures and normalize them all at once using their texture size.

PolyUnwrapper

PolyTools3D — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 01:05:03 +0000

PolyUnwrapper is a complete set of professional tools designed for the texture artists, especially for the architectural and game industries.

It contains plenty of features that will greatly help you improve your unwrapping workflow.

Main Features Features

World Scale UV Tiling

colinsenner — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 00:32:54 +0000

I have a material library in Unreal that uses real-world values to calculate how much they should tile.

I needed the ability to apply any material to any mesh in Unreal, including custom unwrapped ones, and have the materials be at the same scale. This script solves that issue.

If I wanted to solve this manually:

Render to Texture Selected

Crea3D — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 20:19:47 +0000

Batch render to texture script ready for game engines. Bakes all selected objects or groups with one click, saves baked UV textures into a directory, and replaces materials on the objects! If you select a group, it attaches all group members together and bakes it as a single object. Each selected object will have its own texture as well as a group. Output standard material will have a white diffuse color (necessary for some game engines such as Unity3D).
