FAB exporting to 3dsmax 2027

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to get Megascans assets into 3ds Max 2027 (Educational license) via the Fab plugin, but the installation itself won’t even start.

Issue:
When I click “Install” for the 3ds Max plugin (from Fab/Bridge), absolutely nothing happens — no window opens, no error message, no progress bar, nothing. This happens whether 3ds Max is open or closed.

What I’ve already tried:

  • Installing via Fab (web/app)
  • Installing via Bridge
  • A third-party plugin from GitHub as an alternative

None of these resulted in a working import pipeline for Megascans assets into 3ds Max 2027.

Setup:

  • 3ds Max 2027 (Educational license)
  • Asset format: FBX
  • Windows 11

Has anyone else run into this with 3ds Max 2027 specifically? Is there a known compatibility issue with the 2027 release, or a manual install method I’m missing? Any pointers from someone on the dev team would be really appreciated.
