# Model Packer
Model Packer is a toolkit for preparing and packaging 3ds Max models for publishing, sharing, archiving, or uploading to 3D marketplaces.
Instead of manually collecting textures, renaming objects, materials and files, checking the scene, and preparing a clean archive, Model Packer brings these tasks together into a single workflow.
Package Your Model
Model Packer collects the model and its related assets into a clean package ready for delivery.
It can:
- Collect textures and external files
- Copy assets into the project folder
- Prepare the 3ds Max scene for packaging
- Create a clean and organized package
- Make models easier to transfer between computers or send to clients
Powerful Renaming Tools
Quickly clean up and standardize names throughout the scene.
Model Packer can rename:
- Objects
- Materials
- Textures
- Files
- Groups
- Layers
This is especially useful when preparing models for marketplaces where clear and consistent naming is important.
Scene Checking
Before packaging, Model Packer can check the model for common problems.
The checking tools help detect issues such as:
- Flipped geometry
- Overlapping geometry
- Scene organization problems
- Incorrect or inconsistent naming
This helps catch problems before the model is published or sent to another user.
Prepare a Clean Scene
Model Packer can open a clean 3ds Max scene and merge the prepared model into it.
This helps remove unnecessary scene data and produces a cleaner final file for distribution.
Made for 3D Artists and Model Publishers
Model Packer is especially useful for artists who regularly:
- Publish models on 3D marketplaces
- Prepare models for moderation
- Send models to clients
- Build reusable asset libraries
- Archive completed models
- Transfer projects between computers
Instead of using several separate tools and manually checking every step, Model Packer provides one workflow for preparing the final model package.

Choose how to install
Use the guided installer for the best experience, or install the MZP manually if you only need this package.
Drag from this page into 3ds Max
Click Install, then drag the package block into the 3ds Max viewport. This installs Model Packer and MaxPkg Manager with the toolbar and in-app package search.
If drag and drop does not work, download the Installer from the modal and run it with Scripting → Run Script.
Install MaxPkg Manager manually
Download the Runtime ZIP, unzip it, run install.ms, then use the new toolbar to open MaxPkg Manager and find this package.
Download MaxPkg ManagerInstall from MaxPkg Manager
Open MaxPkg Manager, search for this package, and install it there. You can also run this command in the 3ds Max listener:
maxpkg.install "model-packer"Download only this package
Use Download MZP manually, then run the downloaded .mzp through Scripting → Run Script. This installs only the package, not MaxPkg Manager.
After manual install, find the actions in Customize → Customize User Interface → Category: MaxPkg.
