3ds max is in itself a very complex 3d software with many functions. All kinds of tools for modeling, animation and simulation are available in it. However, there are plugins or scripts created by external authors. These plugins can significantly improve and facilitate work with 3ds max.

Then CG-Source came along with the 3ds Max script Floor Generator, and a plugin Multi Texture Map. Both written by Bercon, aka Jerry Ylilammi of BerconMaps fame that do the work for you, not just faster but better and with a flurry of extra options. Got myself the CG Source Floor generator and Multi texture plugins. This all works fine and dandy, and in the 3ds max viewport you will see.

In many situations they exceed the basic tools of this application and introduce functions not provided by the original creators. Below I would like to present you, in my opinion, 15 best 3ds max plugins. MultiScatter Multiscatter is a plugin that will allow you to distribute hundreds or even thousands of objects inside your scene. It is irreplaceable especially when you create all kinds of exterior scenes with lots of trees or other repetitive elements. MultiScatter is based on VRayScatter technology, but is compatible not only with V-Ray. You can also use it with Arnold, Corona, Mental Ray, Maxwell, Octane or FStormRender. Thanks to MultiScatter you will not have to worry about the level of scene complexity that will significantly affect your workflow speed.

Unlike the VRayScatter plugin, this plugin will allow you to regularly or randomly scatter the objects on a surface or a spline. You will also have the possibility of full control over how the objects are distributed. The cost of this plugin is currently $230.

You can read more information about it and purchase it on the official website of its publisher: 2. RailClone If you need to create many repetitive elements, especially in architecture, then RailClone will be something for you. It was created by iToo Software, which has many other interesting plugins in its portfolio. RailClone is a parametric modeling tool in which you create objects in a more artistic way. Thanks to it, you can easily make all kinds of building elements that are repeatable: such as windows, railings or stairs.

Thanks to node-base editor, you can edit and randomize them the way you want. The price of the latest version is $242, you can buy it at the iToo Software website: 3. Floor Generator This plugin is useful especially if you create interior visualizations. But this is not its only application. It is useful when creating floor panels, tiles, pavements, everything that is associated with a floor surface. There are two versions of this plugin: paid and free. In the paid version, which costs only 20 euros, you have the option of choosing several types of panel placement.
