AI AGENT WORKFLOWS THAT AUTOMATE REPETITIVE 3DS MAX TASKS

Build content, organise scenes, apply materials and prepare renders with your AI agent inside Autodesk 3ds Max.

AUTOM8LABS MCP Connector gives your AI agent the tools to carry out these tasks using your dimensions, project requirements and instructions. From creating geometry to preparing review images, automate repetitive work throughout scene production.

AGENT WORKFLOWS

Full workflow access requires a licence.

Build and arrange content: create geometry, transform objects and repeat components using cloning, alignment and spacing instructions.

Organise scenes: manage layers and groups so related objects are easier to select, edit and review.

Apply materials and textures: create physical materials, connect bitmap textures and assign finishes to scene objects.

Prepare geometry and UVs: inspect mesh and UV health, then weld vertices, correct normals and unwrap or pack UVs using the appropriate tools.

Set up cameras and lighting: create and position cameras and lights for your required views.

Create animation: set time ranges and animate object properties to develop movement within your scene.

Prepare renders and scene files: adjust render settings, render images and merge, import or save scene content.

GIVE YOUR AI AGENT A TASK

Provide the object names, dimensions, materials and output requirements, then review the results in 3ds Max.

"Create a physical material for glazing and apply it to the objects on the Glazing layer."

"Clone this object along the X axis using the quantity and spacing I provide."

"Check these objects for mesh issues and explain the proposed repairs before making changes."

"Unwrap and pack the UVs for the selected objects."

"Set the animation range to frames 0-240."

"Render the current camera at 1920 x 1080 and save the image to my chosen folder."

FREE EDITION INCLUDED

Start by asking your AI agent questions about your scene. The free edition includes tools to inspect objects, layers, groups, materials, modifiers, animation and render settings.

You can also audit mesh and UV health, select objects, navigate the viewport and capture screenshots.

"Which objects have the highest polygon counts?"

"List all materials in this scene."

"Show me the modifier stack on the selected object."

"Check the selected objects for missing UV coverage."

UNLOCK THE FULL WORKFLOWS

A Pro licence adds tools for creating and modifying geometry, transforming and cloning objects, managing modifiers, applying materials and textures, editing UVs, preparing animation and rendering images.

Your AI agent can also manage layers and groups, merge and import content, save scenes and use MaxScript for tasks beyond the dedicated tools.

Activate your licence inside 3ds Max using the same installation.

EASY SETUP

Configure supported AI apps from the connector's setup panel. Automatic configuration is available for Claude Desktop, ChatGPT desktop and Cursor. Other compatible MCP stdio clients can be configured manually.

USE YOUR OWN AI

Work with your own AI account. Your AI provider's subscription requirements, usage limits and data policies apply.

The connector communicates locally with 3ds Max and returns tool results to your AI app. Your AI app may send that information to its provider for processing, depending on its configuration.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

  • Fully quit and restart your AI app after setup. For system-tray apps, right-click the icon and select Quit.
  • Start 3ds Max before your AI app. If the connection fails, keep 3ds Max open and restart the AI app.
  • Supports 3ds Max 2022-2027 on Windows 64-bit. Earlier releases are not supported.
  • The AUTOM8LABS panel opens automatically on first use only. To reopen it, run the MCP Connector macro from Customize User Interface > category AUTOM8LABS. The panel provides licence activation and connection status.
  • Broad queries may be slower on large scenes. Filter by object name, category or layer, or set a result limit.
