Q-Proxies is a commercial MAXScript that automatically creates multiple proxy objects to replace high-poly meshesin your scene, speeding up work on heavy scenes. You can manipulate proxies in many ways: move, rotate, scale, change their aspect, add modifiers or animate them. Q-Proxies will replace them for the original objects at render time and transfer those changes. It uses Max standard Editable Meshes and works independently from the current renderer. This makes the proxies compatible with all render engines and third-party proxy objects. It can also automatically replace complex animated characters (including the whole rig) for simple low-poly animated meshes. So you can have them as a reference in scene and work comfortably with less memory consumption and smooth viewport performance.

A simplified Lite version is also available. It should be suitable for most cases, but has no support for animated objects or characters. It can be upgraded to the full version at any time.

Q-Proxies is available for Max 2015 to 2020 and normally costs $45 for the full version and $25 for the lite version. Currently you can get a license for $22.50 (full) and $17.50 (lite). A demo version is available here.

Panelizer is a topology based paneling modifier. It preserves material IDs, smoothing groups and sub-object selections. It has various ways of applying the paneling, and multiple panel alignment options.

Panelizer Modifier is available for Max 2018 to 2020 and costs $12.99.

Din3D Importer is available for Max 2010 to 2020 and costs €59. A demo version is available here.

MeshLink is a procedural object for loading single files or file-sequences using supported importers (currently OBJ and PLY). You can also load an 'Object-File-List' (*.ofl, similar to *.ifl Image File Lists), in which you can specify the filename, rotation and scale. Included is a slightly improved OBJ importer: it is the same importer which ships with Max, but with some minor bug-fixes, speed improvements, vertex color import and a redesigned UI.
