# Rodin add-on for 3ds Max

### Introduction

The Rodin add-on for 3dsMax is a powerful integration tool that supports most of the functions available on [Rodin's webpage](https://hyper3d.ai), allowing users to access image-based generation capabilities directly within the 3dsMax environment. It enables users to replace target images, adjust generation settings, utilize ControlNet with selected objects, and choose between automatic and manual generation modes—all while maintaining a seamless workflow between 3dsMax and the Rodin web interface through the convenient floating window functionality.

### Overview

The Rodin Bridge for 3dsMax integrates Rodin's powerful AI-based 3D generation capabilities directly into your 3dsMax. This integration consists of two main components:

### Installation

**Step-by-step Instruction**

1. Open 3ds Max.
2. Drag and drop the RodinBridge.mzp file directly into the 3ds Max viewport.
3. Wait for the installation completion prompt. Then the RodinBridge UI Panel will appear and be ready to use.

**Notes**

1. Current compatible versions are 3ds Max 2021-2025.
2. If installation fails, restart 3ds Max and drag RodinBridge.mzp in again.

**Dependencies** We developed and test our plugin on 3ds Max 2021-2025.. It should work on other versions as well. If you encounter any issues, please let us know on our Discord or by emailing us at the feedback board on [Hyper3d.ai](https://hyper3d.ai/)

### Basic Usage

The Rodin add-on integrates most Rodin's generation functions directly in 3dsMax. Operation requires interaction in both 3dsMax and the Rodin webpage.

**Single Image Generation**

1. Click 'Remove' and 'Load Image' to replace the default image with the image you want to generate the 3D asset with.
2. Choose 'None' in ControlNet options and choose 'One Click' for the fastest generation experience. The rest of the settings are identical to those on Rodin webpage.
3. Once they are adjusted, click 'Submit' to begin the process.

The Rodin webpage will automatically appear if not already open. On the Rodin webpage, activate the floating window using the toggle switch.

You can monitor the generation process in the floating window. The generated asset will be automatically imported into 3dsMax scene.

You can also import featured assets or generated assets by hovering on the target asset and press the emerged 'Export' button.

### Advanced Functions

**ControlNet:**

To enable ControlNet, select an object in scene and choose your desired ControlNet mode. You can then adjust ControlNet settings as needed (identical to Rodin webpage settings).

**Multiview Mode:**

You can use 'Load Image' to add more images as the input for generation. Rodin will automatically process them as the input for multi-view generation.

**Generation Mode:**

You can choose between One Click mode and Manual mode.

**One Click**: Process runs without step-by-step guidance.

**Manual**: Requires step-by-step operation in the floating window. The process is identical to that on Rodin webpage.
