Undo-friendly Scene changes normally work with Ctrl+Z.

Built for the viewport

Less clicking.
More making.

SceneChat keeps the creative conversation close to the scene. Ask for a change, add a visual reference, continue refining, and choose how much control you want over execution.

Build and edit by chat

Create objects, adjust transforms, organize a scene, assign materials, and build animation through plain-language instructions.

Understands scene context

SceneChat can include object names and scene information so follow-up prompts make sense without starting over.

Use images as references

Browse for an image, paste a screenshot from the clipboard, or capture the active viewport and send it with your prompt.

Real conversation history

Keep refining the same idea. SceneChat sends the useful context from your conversation so “make it taller” still has meaning.

Choose your script workflow

Confirm MAXScript each time, explicitly enable automatic execution, or generate scripts only and inspect every line first.

Your model, your API key

Connect an OpenAI-compatible API account, select an available model, and control reasoning level, request timeout, and cancellation.

A practical workflow

From sentence to scene.

SceneChat handles the bridge between your intent and 3ds Max while leaving the important execution choices visible.

Install once

Use the Windows installer, restart 3ds Max, and launch SceneChat from the Max action search.

Connect your AI account

Add your own compatible API key and choose the model you want to use. The key can be protected locally with Windows encryption.

Describe the outcome

Write naturally, attach a reference image when useful, and continue the conversation as the scene develops.

Review, run, refine

Let structured actions run, review proposed MAXScript, or stay in script-only mode. Continue prompting or undo a scene change.

MAXScript, your way

Speed when you want it. Review when you need it.

Repetitive or complex jobs are often best as one generated script. SceneChat can propose that script and let you decide what happens next.

Ask before running Review and approve each MAXScript execution.

✓

Automatic execution Available as an explicit opt-in for trusted workflows.

Generate scripts only Copy or run the result yourself after inspection.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need a ChatGPT subscription?

No. SceneChat uses an API key from your own compatible API account. ChatGPT subscriptions and API billing are separate products.

Does Saikoapps receive my API key?

SceneChat is designed to store the key locally using Windows encryption and send requests from your computer to the provider endpoint you configure. Saikoapps does not provide or resell API access.

Will SceneChat run any generated script automatically?

Only if you explicitly allow MAXScript execution. You can require confirmation each time, opt into automatic execution, or use script-only mode to inspect and copy the code first.

Can I undo what it changes?

Scene changes are designed to work with 3ds Max undo where possible. As with any automation or script workflow, save or version important production files before large changes.

Is SceneChat made by Autodesk or OpenAI?

No. SceneChat is an independent Saikoapps product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Autodesk or OpenAI.
