Autodesk 3ds Max Asset Library

[SerdarHakann]

Originally released a few months ago, the Autodesk 3ds Max Asset Library is designed and developed to help access and manage numerous file libraries on both your local and network drives. At no additional cost to users of 3ds Max 2016 and higher, the Autodesk 3ds Max Asset Library is downloaded from the Autodesk Exchange App Store and with it, you can search, see and quickly access files and then drag and drop them directly into a scene.

In case you missed it, with version 1, you can:

Use file format Filters to display only the types of files you want to see Merge, Xref Scene, or Replace content in your current 3ds Max session.

Import method for any non 3ds Max file type that is supported by 3ds Max. Drag and Drop images into viewports as environment backgrounds or onto objects as material diffuse maps. Connected to Autodesk Seek.

What's new in Version 1.1

Collections

You can create, share, rename, remove, and even search your own Collections of content. Collections can be anything that appears in the 3ds Max Asset Library from images, 3d files, to MaxScript and other tools. Content can be added at any time. You can share these Collections by either saving a Collection file or sending a Collection via email. You can import a Collection via a simple drag and drop of the Collection file into the 3ds Max Asset Library.

New Badging for fast file type indentification

We have added a badge to the thumbnail view for easy scanning of different files types.

Zip Extraction

Extracting a Zip file will create a unque folder location if a folder already exists of the same name. This will prevent potential overriding of existing files and folders.

History and Help

Are previews in the thumbnails not possible with local files?

I have found the location of all our models but no preview in the thumbnail is shown.
