I've just made some changes to the database so that Max 2021 is now supported. Plugins written for Max 2020 should work fine in Max 2021, so in the database I have simply made all Max 2020 plugins compatible with Max 2021. If anyone notices that a plugin *doesn't* work as expected in Max 2021, please let me know.

Cheers, Dave

Proxy Textures is a commercial MAXScript that automatically creates low resolution versions of your textures to speed up work in heavy scenes. The plugin temporarily reduces the size of your textures, resulting in lower memory consumption and better viewport performance. You can set it to use the original textures only at render time, to work faster. You can also use it to reduce unnecessarily large textures, such as ones that are far from the camera, to speed up your renders. If you need to make small render previews or tests, you can easily downsize and optimize all textures accordingly to accelerate your renders. Proxy Textures also lets you convert multiple texture files to JPG/PNG formats, with the choice to either process all bitmaps in scene at once or to work only with the materials in selected objects.

Proxy Textures is available for Max 2015 to 2020 and normally costs $22. For a limited time you can get a license for a reduced price of $15.40. A demo version is available here.

UVPackmaster 2 is an efficient and fully-featured UV packing engine available as a plugin modifier for Max.

In fact, it can perform some packing operations on all devices simultaneously: CPU and all GPUs in the system.

UVPackmaster 2 is available for Max 2017 to 2020 and costs $39. A demo version is available here.
