3ds Max

Autodesk 3ds Max is a 3D modelling and animation software.

I used 3ds Max 2018, which is not available for download anymore. The reason why I used this version is because it is the last version that is supported by the Nif Plugin for 3ds Max 2015-2018 that I needed to edit and export NIF meshes.

I exclusively used 3ds Max to skin meshes to skeletons, using its native scripting language. All of the actual designing and modelling has always been done in Blender .

I don’ use 3ds Max anymore – I retired it from my mod-making pipeline in 2025, and it was replaced by PyNifly .
