3ds Converter

Batch-converts 3ds files to max format

Tuesday, November 20th, 2001

One of my first ever scripts.

It basically batch-processes folders of 3ds files and converts them to max files, doing nice things like stripping out lights and cameras, placing objects on the ground-plane, and taking a nice snap of the viewport for Explorer previews.

Quite useful when you’ve a bunch of old files to look through.

Download and Installation

Download and run 3ds Converter from 3dsmax.
