+1 We still love Thinkbox plugins for 3dsMax and look forward to the 2024 versions, thanks!

Hello @MarcoA,

Thanks for reaching out, I am going to create an feature request to our Engineering Team to have Frost MX updated for 3dsMax 2024. I can’t share the details of ETA due to Amazon policy, but keep an eye for future Frost version releases that ships with added features and bug fixes!

Thanks.

@Nreddy
For the Vray issue, it’s find ou that since Vray6 chaos remove the version number for the Vray dll, so it will no longer be Vray< maxversion >.dll, but Vray.dll …(and it’s stored now on the new appplugin folder in programdata)

I have my Max 2025 builds ready and plan to release them in the near future
But still want to know how bigh the intereset in those great plugins really is …

I remember a Spacefrog, the Amiga game, and another @spacefrog user in Cgtalk forum whose name and avatar I recall seeing often. Hi! I am Nezih, AKA Byteman3d in that forum.

I find Frost the most reliable, efficient and versatile meshing solution. It is the single plugin that keeps me from upgrading to the new 3DS Max version.
I believe it is a plugin that must be implemented in 3DS Max as a native mesher. I don’t say “particle mesher” because it meshes and blends anything. Most people are probably not aware of the power of Frost. I am constantly checking for a Max 2025 version.
Regards
Nezih.
