Thanks a lot... Didn't really download 4.2 yet... But you just gave me a reason to do so.

The plugin doesn't work very well, but it does work. Only imported the simple planes from a scene, not the object. And they were all microscopic.

Waited years for an add on for import.max. Thanks for showing this to us.

The 3d model element origins that I export from 3Dsmax to blender change! Why do they change in blender?! Can you help asap?

Importing was fine. BUT no material. I went to the EXTERNAL DATA / Find missing Files. Texture files are there in the folder but it says no files. The object looks like CHROME reflecting the HDRI. ???

@@mrhollywood5285 I’m also having the same problem. Been looking everywhere to find a solution but nothing so far. I have the textures tho. Tried the find missing files option but it still doesn’t work. It becomes a mess if you try adding them manually. So annoying🙁

@arvicliw135 Ай бұрын

Same problem. I'm using the latest version 1.6 and Blender 4.3. All objects become chrome, even though all textures are already in the right place. Please let me know when you find the answer. Thanks

Hey, Is it possible to export a max file to .fbx after importing it to blender with this addon?

At the moment it does not support skeleton/armature import, instead of bones there will be empty ones, but in the future it should add this feature.

@Shourod 4 ай бұрын

so, no bone's and animation?

I see a Wavefront OBJ and a 3DS Max import on the menu in 4.2. But I'm concerned if it will import a model I was thinking of purchasing. It's expensive, so I don't want to waste money if it won't import properly. The format of the model for sale is: 3dsMax 2010 + obj Is it safe to assume 4.2 can open this?

@blender3darchitect 5 ай бұрын

I can't guarantee it will open or import all files. However, if you want a reference, the model I'm using to test the add-on in the video is from 3ds Max 2018.

@@blender3darchitect I downloaded a file from CG Trader last night and imported it. It go most of the basic geometry, but some surfaces were missing or flipped normals, some objects were in a 90 degree position relative to the example image, and many textures were wrong or completely missing. It was a model of a kitchen in max format. Cabinet doors were flipped up vertically in a few places, some faces were missing, and textures were the right color but the wrong scale (wood grain was solid brown, no grain).

Great news! still a pain to import anything from max and I do not know if it is max fault of if it's mandatory to be totally careless when naming organizing optimizing cleaning anything in max from materials to meshes almost always come as nearly unusable crap.

@blender3darchitect 5 ай бұрын

I guess the problem is with how 3ds Max organizes the file.

@parsec3d 5 ай бұрын

@@blender3darchitect yes my guess also, but great news having anything that keeps us away from the need to have MAX installed.

I have about 20 years of Maya binary files I produced, but no longer subscribe to AutoDesk. I wish there was an import filter for .mb files. That would really be useful to me.

@blender3darchitect 5 ай бұрын

It will depend on Autodesk. They usually don't provide easy access to their binary file formats. But, it would be incredible to have a Maya importer in Blender.

@basspig 4 ай бұрын

@@blender3darchitect I thought independent programmers wrote these import filters?

@blender3darchitect 4 ай бұрын

@@basspig They are independent programmers, but in some cases they need the "keys" to read certain types of data. For instance, in Maya we have MB files that are binary. The MA file is a plain-text version, which you can easily ready anywhere. At some point, Autodesk needs to release documentation on how to read those MB files to create a viable importer for any software. A company might also pay royalties to license the code to read those files, which is the case for many "compatible" tools. A popular example of that is the DWG format. Many companies get to a deal with Autodesk to license the software required to read it.

@@blender3darchitect thank you for that explanation. I have downloaded a .max file to test the new .max import. It was a kitchen. The import sorta worked, but many cabinet faces are missing or rotated, the sink was all in pieces and rotated different ways. About 70% good import, but textures and faces area mess.
