Multi-DCC Platform Support

The SyncTools Series

Get all ten released SyncTools products in the DCC Integration Suite — save over 25% compared with buying them individually.

SyncTools Pro for 3ds Max

One-click copy and paste of 3ds Max scene data into Blender - and back.
Move meshes, materials, lights, cameras, and animations between 3ds Max and Blender with a single shortcut. SyncTools Pro registers as a Sync Tools menu in 3ds Max and a sidebar tab in Blender, communicating through a unified FBX-based exchange protocol.
What gets transferred
Meshes - geometry, normals, UV channels
Animations - baked keyframes
Materials - PBR conversion + Octane sync
Lights & Cameras - Point/Spot/Directional, FOV/focal length
Hierarchy - transform parenting preserved
MaxScript Integration - Native menu hooks
Overview

A clipboard for 3ds Max and Blender

Stop wrestling with FBX export presets and unit-mismatch headaches every time you move work between 3ds Max and Blender. SyncTools Pro turns the round-trip into a familiar Copy/Paste action: select objects, hit Ctrl + Shift + C in the source app, switch apps, hit Ctrl + Shift + V in the target.
Built for studios that work cross-DCC, freelancers who receive 3ds Max files and finish in Blender, and anyone tired of writing export presets by hand.
Features

What you get

Bidirectional Sync 3ds Max to Blender and Blender to 3ds Max from the same shortcut.
Selective Transfer Toggle which elements come along: meshes, materials, lights, cameras, armatures, baked animations.
Smart Scaling Automatic unit matching keeps dimensions consistent.
Octane Material Sync Optional renderer sync mode preserves Octane material properties.
Custom Shortcuts Default Ctrl + Shift + C / V - fully remappable per-app.
Native UI Integration Sync Tools menu in 3ds Max main menubar; SyncTools tab in Blender 3D View sidebar.
MaxScript Loader One-line MaxScript loader; no MAXScript editor wrangling.
Cross-Platform Cache Cache folder under ~/Documents auto-clears after each paste.
