New in Version 4.5 - MAX 2024 Support
MAX2AE is a full-featured plugin for 3ds MAX (2018 to 2024) and higher that bridges the gap between MAX and After Effects (6.5, 7.0, CS2/3/4/5/6, CC). MAX2AE integrates After Effects elements into your MAX renders, matching all aspects and parameters of Max cameras, lights, and objects. It is easy, accurate, and highly efficient too.
Every property of a MAX camera, object, and light can be translated into AE. Far more than just camera matching; MAX2AE offers object-to-layer animation matching, and MAX light-to-AE light animation matching and handles all resolutions, pixel aspects, and frame rates.
MAX2AE incorporates the ability to create ‘helper planes’ in MAX which represent your AE layer or comp. These ‘helpers’ provide a highly accurate way to envision the AE layer relevant to your MAX scene. These ‘helpers’ can be animated just like any other MAX object, and then used to output keyframe data to AE layers for a perfect match! Even allowing them to be rendered from MAX to generate track mattes for object/AE layer occlusion!
