The Smart Merge 2 plugin, available on D95 Design, is a powerful tool designed to enhance workflow efficiency in 3ds Max. This plugin simplifies the process of merging and managing multiple objects within a scene, making it an essential tool for 3D artists, game developers, and animators.

Key Features:

• Seamless Object Merging – Quickly combines multiple objects while maintaining materials, hierarchies, and transformations.
• Material & Texture Preservation – Ensures that materials and textures remain intact after merging.
• Improved Scene Organization – Helps reduce clutter and optimize performance in complex projects.
• Fast & Efficient Workflow – Saves time by automating the merging process and preventing common errors.

For 3ds Max users working on game assets, architectural visualization, and animation, Smart Merge 2 provides a streamlined solution to handle large-scale scenes with ease. By reducing manual work and improving efficiency, this plugin allows artists to focus on creativity rather than tedious technical tasks.

Vertex Tangent v1.1 for 3ds Max

The "Vertex Tangent" script for 3ds Max, developed by Obaida, offers users enhanced control over the tangents of shape vertices. This tool is particularly beneficial for artists and designers aiming to fine-tune spline shapes with precision. Key features of the script include:

• Auto-Detect Function: Automatically identifies and selects vertices, streamlining the editing process.

• Undo Activation: Provides an option to enable undo functionality, addressing 3ds Max's limitation where changing tangent positions lacks inherent undo support.

• Axis Control: Allows users to specify the movement axis for tangents, offering greater flexibility in adjustments.

Extension for importing and exporting Autodesk .3ds files with all possible properties like ambient, atmosphere settings, meshes, materials, textures, cameras, lights and animations.

This extension was part of Blender 4.1 bundled add-ons. It is now available as an extension.

It’s minimalistic. The addon is designed to be as unintrusive as possible. It only takes one hotkey (D by default) and doesn’t have any UI (other than the menu itself)

It’s quick. It’s designed to be used with one hand, so you can keep your other hand on the mouse. It also promotes usage of accelerator keys, i.e d11 to Separate/Join, d13 to Hide/Unhide, etc

It’s customizable. You can remove any button from the menu, reorder them, create your own submenus through a JSON config. You can also add your own operators to it, even if they come from third-party addons!
