How to convert
Choose the file type, run the check, and follow the result.
Open the 3ds Max to glTF page and confirm the file type.
Include the .max file, linked texture paths, and a short note about units or scene scale.
Run the check, then continue in the browser or contact support.
Output notes
Check these points before you rely on the output.
3ds Max files usually need extra handling before glTF export. Use this page to see if that output is the right fit.
UVs, mesh data, and basic animation may be retained in validated paths.
Source DCC shading networks often need simplification before practical glTF output.
Preservation
Check these points before relying on materials, UVs, animation, or rig data.
Materials
glTF-oriented materials can be possible, but richer DCC shaders usually need conversion. Expect cleanup on the final export.
UV
UV preservation is often relevant and should be validated per workflow. Check it on a sample file first.
Animation
Animation support can be possible, but it should be stated conservatively. Treat it as scene-specific.
Rig
Rig support depends on the actual export path and should not be overpromised. Treat it as scene-specific.
