for Autodesk 3ds Max 2025+
A powerful and customizable scene validation tool for Autodesk 3ds Max.
With this script, you can define a set of rules to validate your scene before rendering, helping you catch common mistakes and avoid faulty renders.
SceneLinter Pro was built to solve one of the biggest problems for 3D artists:
human errors that lead to wrong or incomplete renders.
With this tool, you can:
- Create a smart checklist of rules.
- Automatically verify settings such as render parameters, object properties, output paths, and more.
- Even auto-fix certain issues with predefined scripts.
- ✅ Custom Rules: Define rules with conditions such as
min_value,max_value,property_equals, etc. - ✅ Scene Property Validation: Check anything accessible in MaxScript—from render settings to object attributes.
- ✅ Smart Property Search: Easily find properties by selecting an object or typing a keyword.
- ✅ Auto-Fix Support: Attach MaxScript fixes to rules and solve issues with one click.
- ✅ Save & Load Rule Lists: Store checklists as
.jsonfiles and share them with your team.
