I just wanted to wish a happy new year to all of the visitors that still come to the site. All the best for 2024!

I have written the same thing the last two years, but this year I really do hope that I can invest a bit more time here. The last few years have been quiet here due to a number of personal and work-related reasons, which have basically pushed this website to the back of the queue of things to do. I remain optimistic that I can get it going again, let's wait and see...

MaxFlow is a revolutionary approach to scene data management that allows you to effortlessly control scene states using a node-based system, freely combine settings, and achieve one-click scene state switching. It extends the capabilities of Max and supports rendering engines like V-Ray and Corona.

Its node-based interface empowers you to manipulate scene data visually, providing a visual and user-friendly solution. You can switch states at any time to experiment with different lighting, compositions, and showcase superior design outcomes. MaxFlow has a state recording feature which enables the same Max file to accommodate multiple lighting and rendering setups. With batch rendering, you can render and save these settings with a single click.

MaxFlow is available for Max 2022 to 2024 and costs $62. A demo version is available here.

Project Manager is available for Max 2016 to 2024 and costs $60. A demo version is available here.

This commercial MAXScript helps you quickly explore, locate and import 3D assets directly into Max. It can load any folder accessible on your machine and will find all materials, HDRI's, models and Max files inside. It will then group, organize and display these files as assets, recognizing previews, LODs, mapping channels, resolutions and other important information automatically.

It simplifies the importing and merging process for 3D models, Max files, material creation and HDRI environment maps by allowing you to directly browse, filter and drag all of your 3D assets from sources like MegaScans, PolyHaven, gameTextures, Poliigon, Arroway, etc. into the Max viewport or material editor.

It can import .max, .fbx, .obj, .3ds, .abc model and scene files, and supports Arnold, V-Ray, Corona, Octane, Redshift, Fstorm, Physical, PBR and Standard renderers.

Content Browser is available for Max 2021 to 2024 and costs $30.
