faq - Everything you need to know
Which 3ds Max versions are supported?
Every plugin was tested with 3ds Max 2024 – 2027. Each new yearly version is added as it comes out, so you stay compatible as you upgrade.
Does it work with Corona and V-Ray?
Yes. All tools are built and tested for Corona and V-Ray. The core functions are renderer-agnostic, so most other engines work too.
How does the 21-day trial work? Do I need a card?
No card needed. Just subscribe, download the plugin and you get full access for 21 days with every feature unlocked. It is the whole tool, not a limited demo, so you can test it on real projects before spending anything.
What happens when the trial ends?
The plugin simply stops running until you activate it with a license. Nothing is removed from your scenes, and you can buy and activate at any time to pick up exactly where you left off.
Is this a one-time payment or a subscription?
One-time. You pay once and the plugin is yours, with no recurring fees. Studio Lifetime also includes every future update and every new plugin at no extra cost.
How many computers can I use one license on?
A single plugin or Pro Pack license activates on one machine. Studio Lifetime covers three seats for your team, and larger studios can contact me for a custom license.
Do I get free updates, including new 3ds Max versions?
Pro Pack and single licenses include updates within the current version. Studio Lifetime includes lifetime updates, so every new 3ds Max version and every future plugin is covered for good.
Can I get a refund?
The 21-day free trial lets you test everything on your own projects before you pay, so you buy only once you know it fits your workflow. If you hit a technical problem after purchase, contact me and I will make it right.
How do I install the plugins?
You get a simple installer and a short setup guide. Installation takes about a minute, and the tools appear as a dockable panel inside 3ds Max, ready to use.
How do I get support?
Support comes directly from me, the developer who built the tools, by email and WhatsApp/Telegram. Studio Lifetime and Bespoke clients get priority responses.
How do I batch render all cameras in 3ds Max?
The manual way is to set up each camera and output one at a time in Render Setup. Batch Render Pro automates it: every camera in your scene is queued automatically, with per-camera resolution and format, and you can generate preview renders of all of them in one click before you commit.
How do I find and fix missing textures in 3ds Max?
Missing maps usually mean broken file paths after moving a project. Relinker Pro scans the whole scene at once and reconnects every missing texture, proxy and IES file automatically, then shows a clear report of what was fixed, instead of hunting paths by hand at 11 PM.
How do I manage a lot of cameras in 3ds Max?
The native camera list gives you names but no visuals, so finding the right view means scrolling and guessing. Cam Selector Pro turns every camera into a grid of live thumbnails you scan in seconds, with batch renaming, per-camera resolution and JPG export of every view.
How do I copy objects between scenes with their materials in 3ds Max?
Merging often breaks textures because the maps do not come along. Copy Pro moves models between scenes with their materials and maps intact, so assets drop into any project ready to render, with no broken links to fix afterward.
about me
I am not just a programmer isolated from reality.
I am a photographer and graphic designer with a long track record in ArchViz. For the last 6 years I have created visualizations for dozens of interior designers and architects, and before that I spent 12 years as marketing director for a high-end interior-design retail chain, so I know what makes an interior sell, not just render.
These plugins were not created in a boardroom, they were born from experience, out of my own frustration with the repetitive manual tasks that eat the time you would rather spend on the creative work. Every tool here was originally written for my own projects. Now I am sharing them, so you can work smarter, not harder.
