Quixel Bridge and 3ds Max Assistant

[fixeighted]

Nobody's emptied my bank account so far....well, I seem to trying hard enough

I keep getting all sorts of basically safe web pages initiating 'get out of here' notifications from BitDefender due to lapsed certificates, the modern internet being the regulatory minefield that it is, so I mainly ignore them.
Similarly with this stuff. Vray dlls are/were regularly falsely flagged and it'll just go on and on like this imo. Hard for most to keep up maybe.

So yeah, 'potentially' an issue, but personally, despite being online since the dawn of it all, visiting all sorts of dodgy sites lol, I've never once been compromised

Caveats apply...I said nothing incriminating...I think....prove it!

Can't download due to being a dangerous file, when downloaded, Windows Defender blocks it. False / positive?

it may cause by nuitka compiling python to exe, because i do not have code signing certificate (as many open-source dev do not have).
the code is open you can directly run the app if you wish using python or compile it yourself you can find compile command on app folder (a bat file)
if you wish to directly run it with python use this:
download the app folder content
go to app directory where there is "requirements_v2.txt" file.
then type cmd in windows explorer addressbar and enter.
then type
pip install -r requirements_v2.txt
after the installation complete (may be take few seconds) run the following command to execute the app:
python MaxBridge_Assistant_v2.py


if you do not want to do it this way. i also provided a manual instruction on github link that tell you which file should goes where it is really easy that way too. just a couple of file copying.

Hi mohammadreza_mohseni

Thanks a lot for the jobs and the sharing !
Since the FAB switch I've barely try to save my megascan library.
I will definitely give it a try with your tool.

That's might sound dumb but I've always found Github a bit confusing for someone like me who doesn't code.
I'm not sure what to download (and how to download it) from all the options the site offers.
Should I go the <> Code then download Zip ?


Thanks again,
Best,
Nicolas

first, thank you for your kind words, I appriciate it.

to anwser your question, if you did not work with python. i recommend using the app. you can download it (an exe file) via release section of github (on the right sidebar in github there is a release section). i provide the link in the first post of this topic as well if you did not find it on github.

if it is still confusing. read the manual way and do it that way it is really as easy as replacing 2 files with thoes i provide.

Thanks for the explanation Mohammadreza, appreciate it.

[nicolas_fuminier]

I've found it !

Thanks for the help.
I'll give it try as soon as i get a bit of free time

Best,
Nicolas

resolve quixel bridge and 3ds max connection issues with maxbridge assistant
hi everyone,

if you've been facing issues connecting quixel bridge with the newer versions of 3ds max (2024, 2025), you're not alone. These problems stem from compatibility gaps in the official plugin, particularly with 3ds max 2025's updated python api and menu creation methods.

To help, i've created maxbridge assistant – a small, open-source tool designed to make fixing these issues as simple as possible. All the code is available for review on github. The app is portable, easy to use, and automates what would otherwise be a tedious manual process.

---

what the assistant does:

• ensures compatibility for 3ds max 2025 while supporting older versions.
• updates necessary files automatically without manual edits.
• replaces outdated components in quixel bridge with updated ones.

---

how to use:

1️⃣ download the app (no installation required).
2️⃣ select your megascans library folder.
3️⃣ choose the 3ds max versions you want to connect.
4️⃣ click "start setup" and let the app handle everything!

For those who prefer full control, i've also included clear manual instructions in the github repository.

open source and community support

this project is entirely open source, so feel free to explore, review, or modify the code to suit your needs. If you find it useful, i’d really appreciate it if you could give the repository a ⭐ on github – it helps others discover the solution and keeps the community strong.


i hope this helps save you time and frustration. If you run into any issues or have suggestions, feel free to reach out. Let’s keep our workflows smooth and productive!

funciono al 100% muchas gracias
