This addon imports .max files as they were saved before and uses the transformation matrix for scaling and placement. Transformations from modifiers and those wich are not applied can not be imported correctly. This addon was tested with over 400 files without problems, to improve this addon I need more files for testing. You can use the issues page.
works great on single object files, struggles with complex scenes.
Awesome addon! Worked on everything I've tried so far!
It's a very helpful app to quickly import your 3D Max models. I still encounter some issues at times, but overall its very good given the limitations.
This tool is essential, but I hope it improves even more regarding the import of materials... congratulations!
its ok
this add on sucks materials does not get imported very well please improve this add on then i will give 3 or maybe 4 stars
Very good job! thank you
It works, even on the Mac. Still a lot to do.
Problems
Nice to have
Overall a huge benefit. Lets hope it get improved. Would pay for it.
I tried to support multiple UVs but Blender does not support this. Only one of the UV Maps will be used. In .max files also boxmapping and 2d mapping (similar to greasepencil) is stored in 3 dimensional UVW maps, blender only supports two vectors (U, V) thats why only the supported UV map will be imported.
Sadly I have to rate this add-on as a 1 star as it totally fails scaling when imported into Blender. It also cannot handle complex objects and blows them apart into separate parts. Rotating in Blender is a nightmare as the objects take on gigantic proportions and rescaling individual items inside Blender has no effect. I really, really hope, however, that the developer can sort out these issues because this is a sorely needed add-on that I would certainly buy if it only worked. Cudos to the developer for trying to get this working.
