Drag drop 3ds max files with dotnet

Sketchfab more stable and plugin of the month at autodesk
The Sketchfab publisher for 3dsMax has been featured as plugin of the month at autodesk. I’ve done a few updates to get it there, mainly regarding the handling of the api-key the user enters into the script window. The api-key is handled much better now. Besides that, the script also seems compatible with max 2014 […]
Build an mzp maxscript in 3dsMax
When working with large scripts in 3dsMax it’s very practical to split the project up in multiple files. Done correctly this loosely resembles an object-oriented approach. Something that maxscript doesn’t really support. While working with multiple files is easier than with a single large one, publishing them is more work. This script helps with that. […]

KML import export tutorial
Exchanging KML files between Google Earth and 3ds Max is pretty easy with my recently released KMLparser for 3ds Max. You can do a KML import and export in just a few mousclicks. Transferring shapes between GE and max isn’t just about the shapes themselves, but also about the geo-locations. The script should take care […]
Import KML files in 3ds max
Importing and exporting KML files in 3ds max makes it a tad easier to reuse work done in 3ds max in maps and google earth. Using 3ds max to create maps isn’t a very obvious choice however.
