UV and normals transfer in 3dmax attribute transfer?

gnoop · Jan 29 2026

I need to transfer UV from initial low poly to dynameshed mesh from Zbrush . I usually use Data Transfer modifier in Blender for this . It sometimes does subtle mistakes around UV seams but usually it still works fine for further detailing in Zbrush .

Gemini tells me 3d max got a massive update in 2026.1 version and now copied almost every advantage Blender ever had except Geometry nodes maybe and now have special Attribute transfer modifier that works massively better for both UV and normals transfer then Blender's one.

Did anyone tried it in both softs and can compare ? those two options, UVs and normals have always been a key for my work style.

I haven't tested this myself. But you can download the trial and see for yourself.

Thanks Eric . I have company license . Just haven't updated it since 23 . So accustomed to 3dmax being ancient dinosaur I stopped to pay attention but this new feature makes me curious . Hoped somebody already tested it and save me precious C drive space . Gemini says there is a script that allows to copy /paste in between Max and Blender now and some G-something plugin that recreates Blender geometry nodes for 3dmax . Wonder is it true too. Because creation graph is a nightmare of some crazy programmer . ha-ha. I wasted two month trying to squeeze something from it.
