| SmartRefs is an advanced external reference plugin for Max. It allows you to reference external files but keep the ability to modify and animate the objects from that reference, in a similar way to references in Maya, but even more advanced. SmartRefs is more flexible and robust than the classic XRef tool, even with the improvements made in Max 2016. It is designed for artists and teams of any size, allowing them to have a better pipeline where big scenes can be split into several smaller scenes working as a whole in a seamless environment. In a nutshell, SmartRefs makes Max production ready. Demo version is available here. 32-bit: No 64-bit: Yes | |||
