TITLE
ZIP / RAR Model Importer v1.7.2 for 3ds Max

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Drop a ZIP or RAR archive into 3ds Max, inspect the saved .MAX thumbnail,
and merge the model with automatic texture relinking.

DESCRIPTION
ZIP / RAR Model Importer brings archive browsing and model import into one
compact English-language window. Drop an archive onto the preview area,
choose the .MAX model, inspect its saved thumbnail and click IMPORT.
Drop another archive onto the same area to replace the current package.

FEATURES
- ZIP and RAR archive support.
- Saved .MAX thumbnails, rather than preview pictures from the archive.
- Model selection for packages containing several .MAX files.
- Automatic search and relinking of supported packaged assets.
- Strip Path for resolved ordinary textures.
- Relinking scoped to newly imported objects.
- Preview extraction cleaned on archive replacement or normal window close.
- Referenced imported assets stored persistently and reused on repeat imports.
- Report for missing, ambiguous and unsupported asset references.
- Standalone .MS and installable .MZP formats.

REQUIREMENTS
RAR requires installed WinRAR or 7-Zip; ZIP needs no external archiver.
Models must match your Max version and have their required plugins installed.
A readable saved thumbnail is needed for preview display.

NOTES
UDIM, sequence and some plugin references retain full paths where needed.
Keep stored imported assets while scenes use them. External XRefs and
unsupported plugin assets may need manual relinking.
Core logic was tested outside Max using simulated Max integration;
installation and import have not yet been verified in a real Max session.
