Hello
I hope the API will be more useful for you
Check the example script “…\Kstudio\ProjectManager_3\presets\API examples\Manage Categories.ms”
API provides the methods  GetCategories/AddCategory/AssignCategory/

This behavior may indicate a problem with the settings. Most likely, some settings are corrupted.
Try close 3d max, rename the Project Manager folder and install the plugin. (%localappdata%\Autodesk\3dsMax\2025 – 64bit\ENU\scripts\Kstudio\ProjectManager_3)
Try open the plugin. There should be no flickering.
Copy the necessary settings from the old folder one by one, checking each time whether the problem with loading the plugin has returned. This will help find the problematic settings. Before copying the old settings, it is better to reload 3d max

When exactly do you receive this message?

Please generate the support request.
You can find this option in the main 3ds max menu “Project Manager” ==>> Create Support Request.

[Oleksandr Kramer]

As I understand it, the issue occurs in scripts where you use the Project Manager API?

Please send them to support@3d-kstudio.com.

I will review them and either fix them or provide recommendations on how to make them compatible with the latest plugin versions.

[Oleksandr Kramer]

You’re very welcome!

Try version 3.37.91
Please note that if textures are not found, you may also get black renders. In some cases, relative paths will also not be accepted as valid.

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Please try version 3.37.90
Thanks for your feedback.

Hello

 Arnold renderer always fails

What is mean “fails”?
What version of 3ds max and Project Manager are you using?
Could you please describe more about the problem?

 

[Oleksandr Kramer]

Version 1.12 has a new option “Group by extension”

[Oleksandr Kramer]

It shouldn’t freeze. It looks like a bug. Please generate a bug-report.

Just drag the image to the material/render preview or use the auto-assign preview tool. Note, that these options are available only for material libraries, not for scene materials.

The updated PBR Material Generator 1.05 now supports suffixes, allowing you to ignore specific parts of file names when grouping textures.

🔹 What does this mean?
You can now specify a regular expression to ignore suffixes, such as _[0-9]*k, ensuring that textures are correctly grouped regardless of their resolution.
“_[0-9]*K” is default value. You can add custom suffixes.

Example:
If you set the suffix to _[0-9]*k, the following files will be automatically grouped together:
✅ TilesOnyxOpaloBlack001_COL_1K.jpg
✅ TilesOnyxOpaloBlack001_DISP_1K.jpg
✅ TilesOnyxOpaloBlack001_GLOSS_1K.jpg
✅ TilesOnyxOpaloBlack001_NRM_1K.jpg
—–
✅ TilesOnyxOpaloBlack001_COL_2K.jpg
✅ TilesOnyxOpaloBlack001_DISP_2K.jpg
✅ TilesOnyxOpaloBlack001_GLOSS_2K.jpg
✅ TilesOnyxOpaloBlack001_NRM_2K.jpg

This helps avoid confusion with different texture resolutions and makes material organization more efficient.

The update is available now! 🚀

Thanks for your feedback!
