[Offer] 3D Studio Max 5.1 Ultimate Collection (Software, Updates, Plugins)

Greetings Everyone!

I would like to share my collection of awsome 3D software with you. While digging through a few old CDs I gathered this big pack treasure.

Link: https://archive.org/details/3-d-studio-max-51-ultimate

Either burn it to a disc or mount the image with something like WinCDEmu, DaemonTools or extract it with Total Commander and WinRAR.




After it's release in 2002 3DS Max 5 received support until 2005. This was the last iteration of Discreet's release which got a free major update in form of 5.1 . Beloved by artists, architects, hobbyists and modders, Max 5.1 provides all you need to get the grasp on 3D imaging. Altough more than two decades old it still rocks really well - especially on beefy Windows XP rigs.













For convenience 5.1 and SP1 are included with a HUGE bonus: Valuable plugins like the long lost Final Render 1.0, Ghost Painter 2, or the latest version of the first generation Vray renderer from Chaos Group.

I run this pack on a Windows XP 64-bit Pro SP2 machine with OTVDM. This means all compatibility problems are resolved while maintaining an absolute overkill performance.

Enjoy and use your illusion!

    Smooth share!... I tried leaving a review on archive.org but it kept triggering it as spam, that place is getting to be a toilet of AI... anyways I'm on same page except I'm using Max 4.2 with all trimmings... I got the Max4 MR connector with MR 2.1 but I don't post here anymore you could PM... OR... There's a guy who has a portable 5.1 that you might be able to cherrypick plugs... the thing is a mess some think it's great just because it starts up but many plugs need special fixing just to work & the 'virtual folder' nature of the portable makes it harder might as just well do the installer...-

    If you got the Amapi3D connector there is Amapi here-

    Certainly a more powerful modeler at the time, the connection works pretty good in 4.2... I got a couple portable 5.1s that work good but luckily those that portabled it did not try to cram tons of plugins in it.... BTW Amapi 6 has nice array of import/export formats another way of getting mesh in/out of Max-

    Damn that interface look cool...

    I try to find the connector plug and share it after ;)

    Whelp>>> I have connector plug at hand so here it is in several forms... For Max 2.5-3.1-4 and also a cherrypicked for Max4 in case installer don't work which is usually the case if your main HDD drive letter is anything other than 'C'... You will have to modify the amapi.INI to reflect where amapi EXE is...

    Any link-

    I also threw MJPolyTools for Max4 in there will probably work in 5...

    Amapi plug works pretty good & amapi is powerful but still not easy to learn... Along with other 'app' connections like Combustion which is also pretty tight and Bodypaint which I prefer over Deep Paint3D as you are painting on a rendered surface-
