3DS Max Support

The famous production proven quality of Massive will finally be available for Autodesk 3ds Max users.

“We know that 3ds Max users like to work within the Max environment so we are giving them what they've been asking for: a Massive plugin for 3ds Max,” revealed CEO Stephen Regelous.

The new plugin allows Max users to easily and conveniently load scenes of many thousands of characters and see the Massive agents in the scene just like any other 3ds Max objects. V-Ray rendering is fully integrated, and all the user has to do is click the render button to see the Massive agents rendered along with the other objects in the scene. The plugin is expected to be released shortly after the release of Massive 5.0.
