Where is kick.exe in 3ds Max 2019?

I have 3ds Max 2019 installed. Is there a kick.exe somewhere? I can't find one, searching in the usual places. I installed MAXtoA-2.1.945.2019.exe also, and still couldn't find it. I did find a recent `kick.exe` by installing the Arnold standalone windows SDK, but it generates renders with an Arnold watermark. Thanks in advance!

  1. By the way for 2018 "Kick.exe can be found in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2018\Plusing\MAXtoA" according to https://support.solidangle.com/display/A5AF3DSUG/Arnold+Scene+Source

For 3ds Max 2019, plugins are installed in C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins

So MAXtoA is in C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\MAXtoA

You need an Arnold license if you want to kick without watermarks.

3ds Max doesn't include an Arnold license that you can use with kick. 3ds Max just automagically renders without a watermark, as long as you render in the 3ds Max user interface.
