We are thrilled to announce that echo3D now has a plugin for Autodesk 3ds Max.
For decades, Autodesk 3ds Max has been the gold standard for 3D modeling, animation, and rendering. Now, by integrating directly with echo3D’s robust 3D Digital Asset Management (DAM) platform, we are closing the gap between creation and deployment.
This integration allows 3D designers and teams at large organizations to stream 3D assets directly from the 3ds Max interface into the echo3D DAM, completely eliminating the friction of manual exports, uploads, and file juggling.
Direct Streaming from Editor to Cloud
The core of this integration is efficiency. Traditionally, moving a model from a design environment to a content delivery network involved a tedious cycle of exporting, optimizing, re-uploading, and versioning.
With the new echo3D plugin, that workflow is history. You can now:
Push directly to the cloud: Upload and sync your 3ds Max models to your echo3D collection with a single click.
Manage without leaving the editor: Search, tag, and organize your cloud-based asset library right inside 3ds Max.
Automatic Optimization: As assets stream to echo3D, they are automatically processed and optimized for real-time delivery to mobile, web, and AR/VR devices.
Transforming Workflows Across Industries
This integration isn’t just a time-saver; it’s a strategic advantage for industries relying on high-fidelity 3D content.
Gaming & Interactive Media: Game studios often deal with massive libraries of assets that need constant updating. Developers can push character models and environment assets from 3ds Max directly to the game engine via echo3D. This enables “over-the-air” content updates, allowing studios to patch game assets remotely without forcing players to download a new binary.
Architecture, Engineering, & Construction (AEC): Architects use 3ds Max for breathtaking visualizations, but sharing these massive files with clients is a challenge. Architects can stream heavy architectural renders and digital twins directly to echo3D. The platform then compresses and converts them into lightweight, shareable AR/VR formats. Clients can view 3D building walkthroughs on their iPads or browsers instantly, without needing specialized software.
E-Commerce & Retail: Speed to market is critical for online retail. Merchandisers need to turn product designs into customer-facing 3D experiences fast. 3D designers can model products in 3ds Max and instantly push them to the company’s asset library. From there, echo3D automatically generates embed codes for product pages, allowing customers to view items in AR (Augmented Reality) immediately.
Manufacturing & Training: Industrial companies use digital twins for training and maintenance. Technical artists can update complex machinery models in 3ds Max, and the changes are instantly reflected in the training apps used by field technicians, ensuring they are always learning on the most up-to-date equipment specs.
