Luxion has released an all new KeyShot plugin for Autodesk 3ds Max. This plugin is free of charge for all 3ds Max users. As a member of the Autodesk Developer Network, Luxion has developed a plugin for 3ds Max that automatically loads the model into KeyShot with all parts, groups and layers intact. From the file menu, the export is a one-click process that instantly opens the model in KeyShot. 3ds Max users now have the fastest way to bring their models into KeyShot, creating a cleaner workflow through the entire design process. With the speed of creating material and lighting variations in KeyShot, 3D artists have an increasingly efficient pipeline for rendering and animation.
The 3ds plugin supports the following for parts:
Individual objects - Parts are imported independently with materials and layers
Groups of objects - Creates a new level in the scene tree hierarchy with individual objects within.
Materials on objects - Two unique objects sharing one material are imported linked by material, but can still be unlinked.
Layers - Layers do not influence the grouping of objects, but are utilized for operations like hiding parts. Hidden layer will not be imported.
Importing the 3ds model into KeyShot is a one-click operation from the file menu
