Super thankYou, It works.
to simplify the first 3 points:
→ 2. Install the Last Bridge and the latest Plugin like usual.
→ 1. download and replace the 5.5 folder by the 5.1 in your link
→ continue from 4. to the end, and dont’t forget anything

thank you,
much appreciated.

Why is the startup link not working? I relinked but it didn’t work. I have to install it manually every time. What else can I do?

simple try the my way:)

Thank you very much for your answer. I have two versions of max on my computer, one is 2024. Of course, I have solved it and can use it. Similarly, I can use your script on max2025. In fact, you can put the script in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2025\scripts\Startup. In this way, it will not be reset countless times. Put the script in the folder you pointed out.

Hi

I can see many people have succeeded, so I must be doing something wrong. I keep coming back and re-reading the text to see if I’ve missed something but I can’t see what I’ve missed.
I have Bridge saying it’s successfully exported to Max, but the 3D model does not appear inside max. Also my quixel.ms file inside my script/startup folder does not appear under customise/toolbars

This is what I have inside the quixle.ms

python.ExecuteFile @“L:\03D\07-Commerical Libraries\21-Megascans\support\plugins\max\5.1\MSLiveLink\MS_API.py”

my modified MS_API is 5.1 and not 5.1v2…should I just rename it 5.1v2 is this the issue?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much, everything works!

@dblgv Hey, sorry, I didn’t quite get that. Will it work on Max 2024 too? Thanks a lot for your time!

That worked for me on 3Ds Max 2025, thank you so much

Resolve Quixel Bridge and 3ds Max Connection Issues with MaxBridge Assistant
Hi 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  • Replaces outdated components in Quixel Bridge with updated ones.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:

:one: Download the app (no installation required).
:two: Select your Megascans Library Folder.
:three: Choose the 3ds Max versions you want to connect.
:four: 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.

:point_right: Learn More and Get the Tool Here


Open Source and Community Support

This project is entirely open source, so feel free to explore, review, or modify the code to suit your needs. If you find it useful, I’d really appreciate it if you could give the repository a :star: on GitHub – it helps others discover the solution and keeps the community strong.

Here’s a quick look at the app:


I hope this helps save you time and frustration. If you run into any issues or have suggestions, feel free to reach out. Let’s keep our workflows smooth and productive! :blush:

Hello, my friend! Thank you very much for your help with megascance, you helped out a lot! You’ve made a very cool product.

Just Perfect.
Thanks a lot for this solution.
It works like charm inside 3ds max 2024.
But if anyone encounter any trouble i recommend get REVO uninstaller free version.
Complete remove all bridge megascans include “leftovers”. Let the Revo app do its work.
Then install Bridge on default.
Close all 3ds max and Quixel.
Follow the MaxBridge Assistance

Cheers

OMG!!!
Your solution fixed my connection to the bridge on the 3DS max 2025. I was almost giving up.
I tried everything. Until format my computer.
