How to get the Bridge plugin to work with 3ds max 2021
PinnedHi,
I just made this quick video to show you how to get the Quixel Bridge plugin to work with 3ds max 2021.

Thank you! Worked wonders. Awesome. I have another question. I have imported some material from your library into 3DS Max (Arnold Renderer) but seems like no displacement etc was imported (check photos) I have everything possible downloaded in quixel, so its def not that. Is it some kind of bug ? Thanks

I'm not sure if people are still having this issue but I had some success with running 3dsmax in admin mode and then dragging the python script (as shown in the script path from Bridge) into a new script window. I then evaluated it and hey presto, the live link button appeared.
Find the file that this relates to and then just drag that script directly into a new max script window
Then press evaluate. The MS Livelink window should appear. -
I have similar issues,
but I've found a way to run it, in 3ds max 2021 go to scripting - open script, select a file in megascans assets folder named MS_API.py
in may case it was L:\Megascans_Bridge\support\plugins\max\4.15\MSLiveLink\MS_API.py
Than just evaluate the script in 3ds max 2021

Its does not work with my 3Ds Max 2019. Even with the new update, why do u guy have to make thing so fucking complicated. I'm pissed off.
My Bridge account now keep ask me to subscribe a plan. I can even export a 3D assets for free to test the plugins in my 3Ds Max. I clicked the download plugin button and then, not even a thing show up, a script code like before, but now nothing happen when my Bridge account is fucking expired.
I just want to try to test it out to make sure its worth to subscribe a plan., its not working for a half of year. Please!!!!!!!.
And you guys do not give me a choice to delete the Bridge and Mixer for at least 3 times a months cause I'm getting crazy. -
TLDR: The plugin installation is automated now but make sure your Max is not running.
Hi everyone, I apologize for the confusion, I should have shared more information regarding the new plugin update.
The new plugin is a one-click download/install. You don't need to copy and run scripts anymore. We did that to decrease the number of steps that our users have to do when installing the plugin. If you downloaded the update 4.15 of the plugin then you are good to go. Make sure you restart your 3ds Max if it was already running.
Hope this clarifies all the concerns that you guys had. Best of luck!
