Free Online MAX to BLEND Converter

You can use our MAX to BLEND conversion tool to quickly and easily convert your 3D model files for free. You may upload up to 20 files at one time, and our batch MAX to BLEND converter will process each 3D model and present you with a download link for each file once completed.

Select File(s)

Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.

Please note: Your MAX file, once uploaded to our server, will be deleted 15 minutes after upload, so please download your converted MAX file before this time.

Our 3D model MAX to BLEND tool will load your MAX file and, where supported, attempt to extract all the relevant 3D features, such as geometry, textures, and animations. To access the 3D conversion configuration options, click the button when you have selected your files. The current options support the ability to voxelize your 3D model and more.

We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.

How does converting MAX to BLEND work?

In order to successfully convert an MAX formatted file to the BLEND format, our converter tools will perform several initial checks to ensure the file provided is indeed an MAX file. There are many files out there where the file type extension does not match the data contained within the file. Along with these file type checks, our tools will do additional checks to ensure the file is correctly formatted to match the provided file type. There are many tools out there that do not always create MAX files to the exact specification.

Take your MAX file

An MAX file is a binary data file containing 3D data that makes up the 3D model, including vertices, faces, texture coordinates, and more. To guarantee efficient conversions, our tool will check all data that is contained within the MAX file and remove any information that is duplicated. This not only ensures the conversion completes more quickly, but also the generated BLEND file size is smaller.

Convert the data from MAX to BLEND

Now that the data from the MAX file has been processed, our tool can apply any conversion specified options, such as enabling Voxel mode, and with these applied, prepare the data to be converted to the final BLEND file format. Part of this process ensures checking the capabilities of the BLEND format and removing any data that cannot be represented.

Save to the BLEND format

At this point, the MAX to Blender conversion tool will have the 3D model in a state that is ready to be transferred to the Blender BLEND format. Our tool creates the BLEND file, ensuring all the model data is present and is formatted to match the BLEND file specification to ensure the file can be opened in Blender and other editors that are capable of editing BLEND files.

File format information for MAX and BLEND

Extension	MAX
Full Name	Autodesk 3ds Max
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary

A MAX file is the native (and proprietary) format of the 3D model editing software 3ds Max by Autodesk. 3ds Max is popular in a wide range of sectors, including video games, movies, professional animation, and amongst other 3D modelling enthusiasts.

The MAX file is the successor to the older 3DS format and was created to address the limitations of that format. A MAX file can contain 3D modelling data along with textures, animations, and scene lighting information, all within a single compact file format.

As already mentioned, the format is proprietary, and MAX files are designed to be opened and edited within the 3ds Max software only; however, it does provide options to export to formats such as FBX, which can then be converted to other formats using our FBX conversion tools.

MAX Converter Capabilities

Our MAX 3D Model/Mesh tool does not support any colour material data contained within MAX files, so the converted file will not contain any colour information.

Extension	BLEND
Full Name	Blender
Type	3D Model
Mime Type	application/octet-stream
Format	Binary
Opens With	Blender

The BLEND file extension is the native 3D modelling file format of the ever-popular Blender 3D modelling software. The Blender format originally came into existence in late 1994 and has since evolved into the advanced 3D format we have today.

The format stores complex 3D mesh data along with textures, animations, lighting, and other information related to 3D scene rendering. The format is popular among those creating 3D videogame graphics and animation sequences due to its advanced features and ease of use.

Along with Blender, BLEND files can also be imported into other popular 3D editing software. The open-source nature of the format allows third-party plugins and scripts to be created to run within the Blender editing environment and extend the format's capabilities.

BLEND Converter Capabilities

Our 3D conversion tool does not support colour or material information in BLEND files, so your file will not contain any colour information.

Information for converting from MAX to BLEND

Your MAX file will be converted to a BLEND file using our unified 3D model and mesh conversion tool. Our MAX 3D tool performs accurate conversions of 3D elements such as vertices, faces, normals, and relevant material information. Our tool will not attempt to transfer any colour information if it is present in your MAX file; your final 3D model will contain only geometry data.
