Resolve Quixel Bridge and 3ds Max Connection Issues with MaxBridge AssistantHi 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Replaces outdated components in Quixel Bridge with updated ones.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.

Thank you for this tool, i'm sure many will appreciate it! I wonder if it could help with situation when user has few different Max versions installed and Bridge is exporting to a wrong one? I had this issue myself and i remember having quite a trouble fixing it on my own.

you are welcome,

I did not specifially test this but i test it with 3ds max 2025 / 2024 / 2022 and 2021 on one system and all worked fine. but i did not test with opening multiple instance of 3ds Max to check this. give the api quixel use with one port, it is very likely this would happen if multiple instance of diffrent version are being open at same time. but it is possible to set diffrent ports for diffrent version of 3ds max to fix this. i did not do that in my provided solution yet (I did not aware of this till you mentioned it, I always use one version) but I will surely look into to it and if could solve it i will provide an update soon.

romullus:
To be clear, i'm not asking about situation when several different version Max instances are opened - i wouldn't reasonably expect that to work reliably. I have Max 2023 and 2024 on my PC and i want to have Bridge plugin on 2024, since that's the version i'm working with most of the time, but the Bridge installed it only on Max 2023 and there was no easy way to make it like i want. If your tool can handle this situation already, that's all that i need. I didn't tested your tool yet, since i have my issue sorted, but i certainly keeping it for the future because it doesn't look that Quixel is willing to pull their finger out of their ass anytime soon.
