How to Organize 3ds max Models & Materials Library

[@ArchVizArtist]

What plugin do you use for organizing your models and materials in 3ds max? 😀

[@John182blink4ever]

Connecter from designconnected - also great tool

[@ArchVizArtist]

@@John182blink4ever Awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@prasanthg9803]

None. Now I'll use project manager 😁

[@ArchVizArtist]

@prasanth G Awesome!!! ;)

[@Moldawian]

@@John182blink4ever you forgott to say Ava that Connecter is also FREE ...unlike Projekt Manager that is around 60 euros or som' like that

[@Dima-bo7wz]

Hi, could you please share with us your beautiful folder and subfolder structure in screenshots. Thank you in advance !

[@eliascgi]

Thank you! For me, Project manager it's easier and better than Connector software.

[@jayceeclements6065]

Awesome!! I was looking for a plugin or tool to manage all of my assets!

[@ArchVizArtist]

Great, I'm glad the video helped you :)

[@m2007cpu]

Thanks for the effort :) could you please explain how you added the HDRI tap to the left-side toolbar in Project manager? thanks in advance

[@mthomaz4442]

Kindly share the structural organization of each folder, thanks!

[@quick3ds207]

really very useful video , thanku very much for sharing

[@ArchVizArtist]

Most welcome 😊

[@prasanthg9803]

Can you please make a video about floor genarator and materials texture loader plugins. It'll be very useful

[@ArchVizArtist]

I'll think about video like this ;)

[@poison4u]

Always helpful. Thanks

[@ArchVizArtist]

Happy to help! 😉

[@wandeer1000]

How was this HDRI category added? It doesn't show up on mine, thanks.

[@JoseCastillo-bc4cy]

Good!! ... but can you explain how to see just Textures or PBR Materials... without model... how to show Textures in Shader Ball with the Project Manager. Thanks.

[@3d-kstudio]

You can create PBR materials from bitmaps or Substance files by simply dragging bitmaps or SBSAR files directly into 3ds Max. Onto objects or material editor kzbin.info/www/bejne/lanSc5eGbNKBh8U kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIvFfHuEr8eNrpI

[@legrosbiscuit]

Is that possible to share our entire tree organization?

[@gcdevicegc6103]

Hi , if you place the maps folder in each categories and some models uses same texture, you'll have to keep 2, 3 or 4 copies of it?

[@metstudioco]

how did you solve this issue

[@M7mdSabri]

I like your Folder structure so Much, could you please give me a screenshot of all Folder and subFolder structures so I can do it on my hard drive?

great plugin, thanks

[@ArchVizArtist]

You're welcome!

[@birdaid5242]

Hi BB can you please show us how to work over a network like sharing files and projects so that you can be able to access them over the Network!

[@TannerJohnso1]

A free alternative that works well too though it doesn't have a full texture library capability but is fantastic for models, HDRI, and PBR materials is Connecter by Design Connected.

[@ArchVizArtist]

Sure, there are other alternatives as well 😉Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@Moldawian]

yes it does textures / materials management very well. Idk if u really tryed it or u just red some old google posts from 2018 where ppl complained about the materials future in the version back then. The present version of Connector now just blows ur mind

[@javi42es]

Great video

[@ArchVizArtist]

Thanks for the visit

[@thehahahaha88]

is it the same for trees assets?

[@MachteldvanKetwichVerschuur]

Hi there, thanks for this video. Do you know if K-Studio Project Manager will work for a team of 3? All three working from different locations? Preferably something cloud-based? I read about the MySQL thing on the K-Studion site, but that is still on a local server I believe. We are looking for something remote that we can all access. Would appreciate any and all input, also from the community thanks in advance, Mac

[@freddee2345]

How we can link textures? it doens't work with the folder Maps

[@lewisgarrison860]

When I start a new project I like to have all the textures for that project in that projects materials folder. Dos this plugin always link to your library or can it copy assets to the project folder?

[@michaelvilla696]

I do the same! The problem is the size of the folder.. do you have the same problem?

[@gonanavasdosaches]

Una pregunta como elimino na carpeta sin que se elimine de mi disco duro?

[@AbdurRahim-br9bb]

If 2 different model have the same texture name and same map folder then how to solve this. Because if I replace then any model has to lose its real texture!

[@husseinazher]

Thanks 😊 I have a question please I wonder if the "maps" file in the "table" folder makes the models automatically link there maps to it .. so there is no need to relink them .. is that so? Like how the picture links to the model automatically by naming them the same name. Thanks again

[@ArchVizArtist]

As you link it once, later it will link everything automatically ;)

[@Slavke89]

Hi. Lovely video, thank you very much! I have just one question if you can, please, answer: Do you also copy (and link) textures into the project folder or do they remain in the "maps" folder?

[@michaelvilla696]

Same question! How do you manage it?

[@inspiredbylife1774]

Leaving the textures in the maps folder helps avoid redundancy. Some of my friends work this way.

[@3d-kstudio]

Thanks for your great review. This review for the 2nd version. 3rd version is more powerful and has a lot of new features

[@ArchVizArtist]

Thank you for watching :) The plugin is great!

[@htetmyat2180]

Where can i download this plugin?

[@yuriybobak]

I prefer to use Connecter !

[@ArchVizArtist]

Thanks for sharing :)

[@sayedhusainalmousawi3632]

I wonder how does it work with cloud folders like Google Drive stream? Anybody knows? I have to access my scenes and continue to work on them on multiple computers and I use Google Drive and manually manage my assets.

[@valentinvyazemskii]

THNKS

[@ArchVizArtist]

You're welcome! :)

[@sturm3d]

What about the Autodesk Asset Library Tool? Is it that bad?

[@dConceptdk]

yes it is bad. You can use it in certain cases if you have few models or a lot of time on your hands :)

[@HimanshuSharma-pe6vb]

amazing content and video are very helpful for us thankyou so much for making these video

[@ArchVizArtist]

Thank you, I'm really happy when I receive such a feedback!

[@rezamaleki7490]

Great

Nice video!! You have a great youtube channel !! Greetings 🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖

[@engpasev]

That's a lot of work to organize folders, names, structure, thumbnails, textures with all the problems with plugins and directory loses. Its not worth it if you have thousands and thousands of 3d models and textures. Make sense only for big companies with centralized server systems when work is done by teams of cg artists. Someone always have to organize and manage the library. If you work alone, just use Windows explorer with thumbnails and drag and drop models into open max file. Or open several max files and use between them.

[@mohammedalghabra9852]

I have sent message to you .. please i want answer to that . it is important for me .. thank you . you are great

[@mahrcheen]

0:51 xD WAT

[@eneshappy]

[@ArchVizArtist]

Don't worry, better late than never :D

[@pranavandraskar9275]

Mam You look so beautiful...

[@alitajik6873]

Actually project manager slow down the whole 3ds max even if don’t use it often

[@ArchVizArtist]

I haven't really noticed anything like this, always worked great. Crashed 3ds max a couple of times when I imported too complex models but that's it for me ;)
