Browse 3ds Max Scenes WITHOUT Opening 3ds Max!
13What if you could search inside your 3ds Max files... without ever opening 3ds Max?
In this video, we push metaSort into a new dimension—the world of 3D and VFX! While known for photo management, we reveal how its powerful Digital Asset Management (DAM) features can revolutionize the workflow for 3D artists, animators, and VFX studios.
First, we tackle the endless challenge of texture libraries. I'll show you how metaSort can:
✅ Automatically categorize textures using AI to identify materials like wood, stone, brick, glass, and more.
✅ Use SMART search to instantly find professionally named texture types, making it a breeze to retrieve every single "Normal Map," "Bump Map," or "Albedo" in your library.
Then, we unveil best feature of all: deep search for Autodesk 3ds Max files! We show you how metaSort reads the metadata inside your .max files, allowing anyone on your team even non-artists to manage and audit your entire scene library.
Imagine being able to instantly find a scene based on:
🔹 3ds Max Version (e.g., find all files from 2019)
🔹 Renderer Used (finalRender, Scanline, Arnold, any plugin!)
🔹 Any Plugin present in the scene
🔹 The artist who last saved the file
🔹 The workstation, date, and other critical studio data!
This is the ultimate tool for organizing your scenes, finding lost assets, and bringing powerful search capabilities to your 3D pipeline. Stop guessing and start knowing what's inside your files.
