3ds Max Plugin Configuration
This page describes how to manually perform the same steps that are handled automatically during Redshift installation. Normally you will not need to follow the instructions on this page, however, this may be helpful if you install a version of 3ds Max after installing Redshift.
Table of Contents
In order to configure Redshift with each version of 3ds Max various dlls and other required data must be copied into each 3ds Max installation directory. This is handled automatically during the Redshift installation process based on the versions of 3ds Max you selected but it can also be performed manually by using the relevant helper scripts that are provided with each installation of Redshift.
There is a different configuration script for each version of 3ds Max with the naming "install_redshift4max_####.bat" that can be found in the following location:
C:\ProgramData\redshift\Plugins\3dsMax
To perform the configuration simply run the batch files for a particular version of 3ds Max and wait for the process to complete. Alternatively, the Redshift installer can be run again and new versions of 3ds Max can be selected.
