What is plugin3D?

Our powerful 3D realtime rendering engine works inside any 32-bit (64-bit soon) Autodesk 3ds Max 2009, 2010 or 2011 viewport. See and interact with your fully rendered scene in realtime, even with hundreds of thousands or millions of polygons. Move around, make changes, improve look and feel, add animations and see changes instantly. Meet "impossible" deadlines. Make last minute changes. Make an image or movie instantly. Or for a small fee of $99, a fully interactive standalone scene for anyone.

How much does it cost?

plugin3D is FREE.
You only pay to make a standalone fully distributable interactive scene. You can buy licenses as you need them starting at $99 - and the more you buy in one go, the more you save per licence. They drop as low as $49. Just pay online through our store. Either click 'Store' on the top menu of this website or from the Publishing menu inside plugin3D when running in 3ds Max. It's that simple!

It looks and feels like rtre, and it's called plugin3D, with better realism for the latest materials.

Dynamic real-time updating makes it much easier to experiment with ideas and possibilities during the creation process. Real-time rendering lets the user instantly see the result of any changes - look and move around the scene exactly as it will finally look.

More realistic and believable, just like real life.

plugin3D™ Publisher lets you make distributable licenced stanalone executable versions that look exactly the same as those in the creation process. Users without plugin3D™ can still use these on their gaming-compatible Windows PCs.

You’ll wonder how you lived without the simplicity of plugin3D™ - our plug-in for Autodesk® 3ds® max® 9 thru 2011.
