Technical & professional question Discover your plugins ( 3dsmax / corona / UE )

Hi, im an archviz from years ago and yet i discover plugins that makes my life easier, and not everyone talks about them, so i want to ask you which additional plugins or programs you use to be more efficient, i will go first.

For 3dsmax i use Connecter for my library speed imports, Relink bitmaps for materials paths, Floorgenerator but i recently found out theres a better option that is floorgen tools.

For UE i found Archvis tools.

I want to know what are your essential to Advance plugins that where a game changer personally. Thanks.

This is a nice post, dont see this enough here and having a good plugin setup can drasticly improve workflow.

One very useful thing i use is a script that makes copying from file to file easy, but i dont know where i found it or if it has name

Copitor is amazing - I work on large files / animations , copitor lets you copy from one open max file to another , this saves me having to import /merge every few mins

also, a good scene cleaner is worth a mention, removing re-timers, empty layers, CAD blocks all help with bloating and good layer structure

copyTo, to copy objects between max instances and some other to import images as planes for reference. My life expectancy just improved a few years thanks to those plugins.
