MAX2AE is a full featured plugin for 3ds MAX (9, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011,2012,2013) and higher that bridges the gap between MAX and After Effects (6.5, 7.0, CS2/3/4/5/6). Finally an easy, accurate and highly efficient way to integrate After Effects elements into your MAX renders, matching all aspects and parameters of Max cameras, lights and objects.

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, 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, then used to output keyframe data to AE layers for a perfect match! Even allowing them to be rendered from MAX for the purpose of generating track mattes for object/AE layer occlusion!

Explore for yourself the benefits of having a seemlessly matched animated Cameras, Objects and Lights with MAX2AE!

Testimonials

 “We've been using Max2AE for a number of years and it is an integral part of our workflow. Anyone who uses Max and After Effects needs this tool in their arsenal. Version 2 creates a workflow from 3D to 2D (and back again) that changes the way we think about finishing our productions. MAX2AE’s impact to our workflow and creative output makes it an indespensible tool for our studio.”

- Dave Thompson, Fox Sports

 “For years I have struggled just to get simple camera matching from MAX into AE, now this solution accurately and quickly does that and alot more. Finally a solution that can give me total integration of all object, light and camera settings. Workflow is a breeze, and I can focus on designing! Not tweaking keyframes endlessly.”

- Jeff Dobrow, VDO.TV

 “MAX2AE is a great help in terms of speed of complex 2D/3D mixed compositing. Where RPF/RLA solutions failed MAX2AE gives you that extra ease of use and accuracy to do exactly what you want to do and keep things organized.”
