Amazing work!

Still a work-in-progress I suppose (in my samples meshes are imported well but materials are missing textures in many cases), but it's sooooo much better than what we had before (which was, well, nothing.. ).

Great work, keep it up!!

This thing is really nice and an unbelievable help! But I've noticed it won't import shapes inside a .max file. I have an old .max file that I used to organize shapes for moldings profiles, the addon does import meshes from the file, but it skips the spline shapes. Is it possible to accommodate the add-on for this type of import?

  • NRGSille replied

As the description says only meshes are supported yet, there is no documentation online about where the shape info is located in the file. You can upload the file on my issues page so I can have a look, but I doubt that I can solve it without any information about the parameters I should search for.

I guess it is one of the most important add-ons for a Blender for now! So I hope it will keep improving.

Some fine tuning needed

OMG I've needed this for ten years! I can finally... EASILY.... bring my old models back to life! Get it! Use it!

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.

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.

I still have issues. When my skinned mesh contains helper bones, the animation and skinned mesh are not exporting.

  • NRGSille replied

As descriped above only meshes and materials can be imported. Bones and animations are not supported.

This tool is essential, but I hope it improves even more regarding the import of materials... congratulations!
