Project Manager
3DS Max projects tend to utilize many 3D files such as models, images, IES photometrics, and materials. 3D files are used in complex projects for design, gaming, animation, and engineering. It may be difficult to keep up with and manage without plugins, especially if you’re working on multiple projects at a time.
Project Manager makes large, complicated projects much simpler by organizing your files according to projects, objects, sections, and more. The user may define as many categories and folders as they wish.
The drag-and-drop interface featured in Project manager also greatly reduces the time and effort involved in completing projects, allowing for an intuitive and user-friendly way of working, even for inexperienced 3DS Max users.

A Plethora of Features That Make Projects Easier
Explorer Tab Features
In Project Manager, models, materials, textures, and other assets are neatly divided into 5 different tabs.
Perhaps the most heavily used tab, the “Models Tab” lets users merge 3D files using a variety of options, as well as replace, export, and render existing models.
Project Manager also features support for Substance textures, as well as interactive rendering previews for IES files and materials. Also plugin is compatible with all 3DS Max image file formats (including PSD, Vrimg, and others), and allows for convenient thumbnail views for image and file libraries.
Cataloguing and Searching
Among Project Manager’s main features are easy library cataloguing, easy model merging, file data customization and database syncing (which will be useful for teamwork on large-scale animation projects).
Project Manager’s intuitive search feature allows users to locate and import files by name, description, and tags.
Descriptions and tags can be added to MAX, IES, and other image files. Project Manager makes dealing with complex 3DS projects a lot more convenient by reducing virtual clutter and dividing assets, textures, models, and more into categories that specifically make sense to the user.
The various tabs available in Project Manager also feature a “Favorites” folder that you can use to keep your recently used or frequently updated files.
Asset Tracking system
Using the Project Manager you can be sure that you have a complete control over external links into your scenes.
Asset tracking features include support for XREF files and easy linking with external files.
Using the Asset Files tab (and Batch Render&Relink), you can search for missing assets and relink external files.
Files may also be discriminated by type and/or renamed in accordance with masks.
In addition, files that are linked to selected objects are displayed in Interactive Mode, and bitmap textures can be toggled and placed within the Material Editor.
Note that Project Manager supports the highest number of asset types of any plug-in. For example, Project Manager is the only plugin that can display and relink Vray Lens effects, even with missing bitmaps. In addition, scenes may be archived and easily sent to render services such as RebusFarm.
The Batch Render&Relink tool helps manage your asset files into the 3D model and material libraries in Batch Mode. BR&R is capable of rendering thumbnails for 3D models, materials, and IES photometric files.
Batch Mode makes for an easy way to gather and compile many assets at once.
Saving Time and Effort on Practical, Real-World Applications
With Project Manager, any project assets such as models, materials, textures, and even lights can be stored, categorized, and browsed for easy access on future related projects.
This greatly reduces production times and frustration. With Project Manager, you can easily pick up on your project where you left off.
Many scenes may use common models, materials and textures. For example, video game and animation models frequently re-use the same assets with slight modifications.
Larger scenes are created from multiple instances of common environmental objects such as plants, furniture, and other architectural and environmental elements.
Another common application would be a project that utilizes many human models. Many of these models may be duplicated with different skins to create more characters, or re-sized and mixed with various materials and textures for other body types.
Easy copying, merging, and customization for similar models cuts project production times significantly. Design projects, as well as animation and engineering projects, take significant time to create, render, and test.
Therefore, any plugins that reduce required effort are valuable.
Why Choose Project Manager?
Project Manager’s biggest advantages are its high compatibility combined with its intuitive drag-and-drop interface.
Project Manager lets you drag models as if you were holding them within your own hands—every adjustment is deliberate, precise, and—most importantly—makes sense. Additionally, files and assets can be copied to the ClipBoard and dropped into the ViewPort or other appropriate windows.
For example, materials and textures can be placed directly into the Material Editor.
Due to Project Manager’s support for many renderer engines, you can use Vray, Corona, Mental Ray, Octane, Maxwell and many other proxies in your scenes. Objects such as Vray and mr Proxy are used in 3DS Max for scenes that have high polygon counts. Proxy objects save time and memory because source objects are not needed while rendering.
Project Manager’s asset tracking is the perfect complement to 3DS Max’s existing asset tracking and custom dependency features.
Dragging bitmaps onto objects and material slots can produce new materials to allow for higher customization.
Users can easily make custom templates for materials using image files.
By assigning textures and materials to objects (as well as creating photometric lights), it is very easy to customize your projects down to every detail—from color, lighting, and other attributes—in order to achieve your precise creative vision.
The Value of Plugins & Why Project Manager Is a Great Place to Start
KStudio’s Project Manager provides a well-rounded turnkey solution for most of your basic 3DS Max asset management needs.
With its auto-update feature, Project Manager is able to automatically improve itself when new features are implemented, saving time for the user.

Q. Is it possible to display all content of the directory?
A.
Of course!
Use the filter button on the panel.
-
Q. Simplified deployment: silent mode plugin installation and creation of identification files
A.
Kstudio plugins is used by freelancers as well as in studios of different sizes – from several employees to hundreds.
Download example: SilentModeInstall.zip
New feature will be interesting for corporate users – installing 3ds Max plugin in silent mode.
This will speed up the deployment of multiple installation into a large network. I recommend to pay attention to utilities such as PsExec and PowerShell – with their help you can install the 3dsMax plug-ins and create the identification files on multiple computers in a batch mode. -
Q. Is it possible to add the custom file type for displaying it by default?
A.
Yes – it possible! -
Q. How i can add the new material to the Material Library?
A.
Please see this videos:
You can save material to material library using Drag&Drop from Standart or Slate Material Editor *:*Avalable for 3Ds max 2014 and above
Save material to material library using Copy/Paste method:
-
Q. Is it possible to replace materials with Project Manager?
A.
Choose a material with which you wish to replace a scene material .
Copy it (CTRL + C) or from context menu item “Copy”.
Go to the catalog “Scene Materials” and select the material you want to replace.
(To quickly find the material in the scene, you can use a >>filter)
Choose in the context menu the item “Replace Material”. -
Q. Does it possible to export the list of the missing maps to file?
A.
You can export the list of the missing maps to file using the menu-item “Make Summary Report” from menu “Tools”.
-
Q. How to find what material/object contains a missing texture map?
A.
It’s simple using Project Manager or FilePathFinder.
Select desired files into the list and press one from buttons on top panel for placing dependent material, texture map to Material Editor or select objects.
Using panel on bottom you can filter files by status or by depending to selected objects. -
Q. How i can merge an animated model with keeping a hierarchy?
A.
There is two options to do this:
- Merge using double-click on 3D file
- Hold the SHIFT key when dragging a model.
-
Q. I just want to create a CoronaBitmap or Bitmap when drag to Slate Material Editor
A.
This capability always present in Project Manager.
Drag bitmap/Map to Material Editor and hold the SHIFT key.
Will be create a textureMap which supported with your active renderer(Bitmap, CoronaBitmap and etc.).
-
Q. How i can make a Backup and Restore the Settings?
A.
Use the “Export/Import Settings” for exporting the settings before reinstall the 3ds Max or Windows.

Tristan Hung –
It’s one of the best plugin for 3Ds Max you can get !
but not sure is there any other way you can create like shortcut links in Windows, show model thumbnail in couple different folders but only save the whole model asset once in a folder?
Thank you
Ramon Aranguren (verified owner) –
I have been working on Archviz for longer that I can even remember, through times I have used many asset management tools, both free and paid, even tried to implement workflows that would allow for easy management, and none of those practices come even close to what KSTUDIO’s Project Manager has to offer, plus the state of the art customer service that Alexander offers.
Marco Andrade (verified owner) –
I havent used it a lot since I bought it a few weeks ago, but it is fast and better than browsing in the normal windows explorer, I still have to understand how to add all my libraries. I will keep looking in the manual. Great plugin so far!

Frequently Asked Questions
Chris Wade –
I have used Project Manager for a few Years now, and although it can be buggy at times, the Positives out weigh the Negatives massively, I would like to see it be able to Run Faster loading thumbnails generally etc, I would like to see a MOVE Textures option for assets, instead of always COPYING, but that’s a minor thing, unless it does that already and I have missed it.
I would like better control on Thumbnail rendering, doesn’t quite work as you would think always.
But generally It’s Great, well done to the Team

Joe (verified owner) –
Used for several years, is one of the best plug-ins I’ve ever used. Very practical and convenient at work.
If can add a library management script is even better.
Clark Bickford (verified owner) –
Inserting models is very difficult compare to Asset Browser, and not from a learning curve, from a software point of view. It’s slow, glitchy and not great at picking or placing objects compared to other tools we have used.
The program has quite a lot more features, but can be unstable and requires lots of updates to fix bugs. It’s getting better but still needs quite a bit of work to make it worth the asking price. It lacks the feature to add a thumbnail from clipboard or file easily, it’s quite a manual process to add a model and thumbnail compared to HCGAB. This additional time adds up in a production envrionment.
All in all, not a bad program that will only get better with improvements/time.
Alexander Kramer (verified owner) –
Thank for your review.
Please describe more about issues with inserting models and other issues what you receive using Project Manager.
About the purpose of assigning custom thumbnail to files – the next version will be able to use a custom preview and be able to specify several related files.

Probably one of the best thought out plugins, fast and reliable, easy to use and very convenient. It makes populating a scene very easy!

My favorite plugin by far. There’s no comparison to the instant access and import options for everything needed (mats, textures, models, etc).

Excellent for managing proxies. Easy to create thumbnails of your models. Was using connector app, but this is simpler to use.

Our whole team has been using “Project Manger” for a year now. We can not imagine the daily work without this brilliant plugin. The developer is extremely close to the user and is very quick to answer questions

I have been blown away by the new Project Manager demo so I purchased it.
I had tested the past versions and while impressed, I did not purchase.
I expect this new version will become a popular must-have for every 3ds Max user.
Very excited to adopt this into my workflow!
Bob Emerson (verified owner) –
been using this for 5 years and every time I switch 3d max on (which is daily)
no problems at all, it keeps getting better and the support is great when I update my hardware and need to re-install and get a new license key.
alex is a top man.

I used this tools a lot everyday, usually finding, relinking or copy images are time consuming,
but PM helped me to do it as fast as possible with one click.
I think many people do not know what treasure it is, so I recommended everybody to try at least one time.
Thank you so much for this great tools.

“Project Manager” has been made a considered impact in our organization of files;
especially at the final phase of a project, when we are pressed for time and where all the small enrichment (models, materials, lights) in the 3d scene make all the difference in the final render.
