Installation ============ Fabric for 3ds Max is distributed as a .dlu plugin and is located in the folder ``/DCC_Integrations``. Fabric for 3ds Max expects certain environment variables to be set. To simplify the process, a batch file is included in each Fabric3dsmax* folder. Running the batch file should set-up the plugin and launch 3ds Max. .. note:: The first time the plugin is launched, all the provided extensions will be built for the target platform. This may take a few minutes. After 3ds Max is launch, you can test the plugin works fine by loading a sample scene found in ``/Samples/Fabric3dsMax``.
