miauu's Drag&Drop Pro

miauu's Drag&Drop Pro makes file handling in 3ds Max faster and smarter by adding intelligent drag-and-drop functionality for assets, proxies, and materials.

What can it do when you drop files from Windows Explorer into 3ds Max?

Automatically relink all missing textures on file drop.
Instantly open dropped proxy files in the viewport.
- Supported proxy formats: V-Ray, Corona, and FStorm.
- If a matching .mat file exists in the same folder, it is auto-assigned to the proxy*.
When dropping a .mat, .jpg, or .png file, the matching proxy file* loads automatically.
Apply materials to the object under your mouse when dropping a .mat file.
Drop a shortcut (.lnk) file — and it opens the file it points to.

* The proxy file, .mat file, and thumbnail file must have the same name. For example:

myProxy_Corona.cgeo, myProxy_Corona.mat, myProxy_Corona.jpg
myProxy_Vray.cgeo, myProxy_Vray.mat, myProxy_Vray.jpg
myProxy_Fstorm.cgeo, myProxy_Fstorm.mat, myProxy_Fstorm.jpg
