Topics in this section
  • Camera Match Utility
    The Camera Match utility uses a bitmap background photo and five or more special "CamPoint" objects to create or modify a camera so that its position, orientation, and field-of-view matches that of the camera that originally created the photo.
  • Fix Ambient Utility
    The Fix Ambient utility solves a compatibility problem that sometimes occurs when you use 3ds Max to open files from earlier versions of 3ds Max or Autodesk VIZ.
  • Follow/Bank Utility
    The Follow/Bank utility applies rotation keys to an object that already has a motion trajectory. The settings are similar to those found in the Path constraint. Use this when you have an object for which you've already assigned motion and want it to follow or bank along its trajectory, but don’t want to use a Path constraint.
  • IFL Manager Utility
    The IFL Manager utility generates an image file list (IFL) file from an image file you choose from a numbered file sequence.
  • Polygon Counter Utility
    Shows the number of faces in the current scene and the number of faces in the current selection set. You can set a budget for both of these values.
  • Material XML Exporter Utility
    As of 3ds Max 2015, this feature has been discontinued.
  • MAX File Finder Utility
    The MAX File Finder utility lets you search for MAX files containing specific properties.
