Must Have ArchViz Plugins and Scripts for 3ds Max

List of must have 3ds Max plugins and scripts you will need for quality architectural 3d rendering

MultiScatter

MultiScatter is a plug-in for 3ds Max, based on VRayScatter technology its designed to work not only with V-Ray but also with Arnold, Mental Ray, Corona, Octane, Maxwell, FStormRender (others can be added by using our SDK)

MultiScatter allows rendering engines to generate huge amount of objects in array. The support for 64-bit systems allows MultiScatter to create and submit for render, for example, forest or even a city in a blink of an eye. Quick render time generation of objects with optimized RAM management makes process of scene creation very efficient.

FloorGenerator

FloorGenerator is a plugin for 3ds Max (2013 to 2021) which generates floor objects consisting of individual boards which can easily be textured using MultiTexture. It’s a great tool if you’re doing architecture visualization and need to make floors that are NOT going to tile and that you can see up close without any pixilation.

Sweep Profile

Sweep Profile allows to simply create architectural moldings when modeling a 3D scene of an interior or exterior. Also, Sweep Profile has an unique ability to specify the size of the profile on the fly. Just select the desired molding and apply it to the scene. Contains 37 ready-to-be-used architectural profiles.

RailClone

RailClone - the artist-friendly parametric modelling and spline-cloning plugin for 3ds Max that's fast, efficient, and easy-to-learn.

RailClone is unlike any other tool on the market. Objects are created simply by assembling and repeating existing geometry using an easy-to-define set of rules. If you can model in Max, you can create procedural objects with RailClone

Choose from hundreds of built-in presets, adapt existing objects by adding your own geometry, or even create your own from scratch using RailClone's easy-to-understand visual editor

Ivy Generator

Plugin/Maxscript to generate ivy’s for 3Ds Max

This plugin is based on the excellent program created by Thomas Luft Ivy Generator.

Choose from hundreds of built-in presets, adapt existing objects by adding your own geometry, or even create your own from scratch using RailClone's easy-to-understand visual editor

The plugin does all the hard work that is the actual ivy growing and generation of the meshes, The maxscript part is just the user interface, The Materials and the Corona scatter creation.

Instance Tool

Instance tool analyze the geometry objects in the scene and finds groups of objects that could be represented as instances of one of them. Then the user can turn every group into actual instances and choose which object from the group will be preserved. The objects in the group are objects that have the same topology (could be morph targets of one another) and the difference between them could be described with transformation alone.

After making a group into instances, all the objects in the group accept the master object will become instances of the master and a new transformation value (position rotation and scale) will be applied to transform them back to their original shape and orientation.

Forest Pack

Forest Pack is the world's most popular object placement plugin for 3ds Max It provides a complete solution for creating huge arrays of all types of objects: from trees and small plants to buildings, groups of people, rocks and many other types of objects. If you can model it, the Forest Pack will be able to distribute this object throughout your scene.

A huge number of studios rely on the production-proven Forest Pack algorithms and native shaders to render scenes with an almost unlimited number of objects and polygons, all without a massive load on computer resources.

Simulate natural patterns of object distribution and get the best results using advanced mapping and randomization tools, or tweak the finished result using the fine tuning of each plugin function.

Prune Scene

To protect your 3ds max from the virus or to clear an already infected scene, use the Prune Scene script.

It is recommended to enable Active Protection mode, all existing malicious scripts will be removed and scanning and removal will be performed automatically when the infected files are opened.

The main difference between this script and other similar analogs is that there is no need to run it manually. You can always be sure of the result since there is no chance that you will forget to check some 3D models. This is especially true for large companies, where several specialists can work on one scene. Besides Prune Scene cleans from all known modifications of viruses, and there is no need to use several different scripts to detect different types of malicious scripts.

Relink Bitmaps

Relink Bitmaps is a plugin that finds its way to the lost textures in your scene. This is one of the most useful plugins as it saves a lot of time.
