3ds Max Connection fails to Run on Max 2023 and Max2024

[RobH2]

Maybe it’s related to my system as I can’t find a single post about this issue here or on the Web at all.

I have installed the USD Plugins for Max 2023 and 2024. I installed the Connections via the Omniverse Launcher. I rebooted for good measure. My database is connected. My objects are selected.

When I try to ‘Create New View Project’ in Max 2023 or 2024 it fails and I get the message:

---------------------------BEGIN CODE--------------------

– Error occurred in anonymous codeblock; filename: D:\NVidiaOmniverse\lib\3dsmax-connector-202.0.0\MaxScripts\OmniverseMenu.ms; position: 3158; line: 108

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times thinking it might correct the misconfiguration. The folders all look good and they are populated by the files that I expect to see there. I’m just not a coder so I don’t know how to interpret the error message and do anything about it.

Anyone else had this problem and solved it?

In case it helps anyone else, I uninstalled the ‘Release’ version and installed the ‘Enterprise’ version and I have functionality. I’d still like to know why it fails if someone has had this and has solved it.

Creating a new project is not the way to do this. Just simply use the omniverse connector’s exporter to convert your 3dsmax to a usd. It will simply make a file with a textures subfolder. It does not need to be put on a nucleus server. Just a regular windows folder. Again, please ignore the “create project” workflow.

i installed connector for 3ds max but it doesn’t run at all
Max is crashing after installing connector and omniverse presenter
is there a problem I didn’t know

and that’s what I get when I open 3ds max
plz I want a help if u can

[Richard3D]

I would need more details and ideally a video showing the crash. How do you know 3dsmax is crashing because of our connector ?. If you feel it is crashing because of this, please go ahead and uninstall the connector and see if this resolves the issue.

What version of the connector and what version of 3dsmax ? When exactly does it crash ? Right on launching 3dsmax or when trying to use the connector ?

[mostafaezzat845]

yes,i unistalled the connector and it runs smoothly
I have 202.1 connector 3ds max 2024
it crashes when I try to run 3ds max

[Richard3D]

If uninstalling the connector fixes 3dsmax, I would advise that you keep it uninstalled. I am not sure why it is causing issues with 3dsmax. There is no 202.1 connector. You mean 202.0.0 ?
