One asset. Your first native scene.

Have these ready.

• A representative asset you may useA .max scene or its original archive, companion textures and a preview image if available.
• Your destination applicationChoose a version and renderer covered by the compatibility guide.
• Oruva and its connectorUse a matching app/connector combination and sign in to your Oruva account.
• A fresh destination sceneSave existing work first, then use an empty scene to make the result easy to inspect.

Use an asset you own or are licensed to use. The example recordings show real imports; their source .max files are not included as a downloadable sample pack.

Step 01

Create your first library.

In Oruva’s Library menu, choose Create Library… and select a location with enough free space. Give it a name you recognise. You can start empty, or bring in a collection straight away.

Start with a small folder of representative assets. Once that folder looks right, add the larger collection.

A library is where Oruva keeps its catalog, your pictures’ thumbnails, and the connection between each picture and its 3D model.

Step 02

Add your folder. Oruva connects the models.

Choose Add folder (or Add files) and point Oruva at your collection: pictures, 3D models, or a mix of both, in one folder or several. Short steps show what was found and ask only what needs a decision. For the best result, give a model and its pictures the same name — riolo.zip, riolo.jpg, and extra views riolo-1.jpg, riolo-2.jpg, riolo-3.jpg. Oruva connects those instantly and saves the connection in your library. Where names differ, it also uses files that were downloaded together. Oruva never renames, moves or changes your files. Model files can be ZIP, RAR, 7Z or MAX.

Anything Oruva could not connect is listed under Missing Models. Open Tools → Model Matcher to see the closest model for each picture, choose Connect all found, and settle the rest one at a time. You can also right-click any picture and choose Connect to a 3D model….

Step 03

Connect your application.

1. Install your destination application and renderer. Confirm they start normally.
2. Save your work and close every instance of the destination.
3. In Oruva’s first-run setup or Preferences, open 3D Connectors and install the connector for the detected application.
4. Reopen the destination, wait for it to finish loading and begin with a fresh scene.

If you have just updated Oruva, check for a matching connector update too. Detailed connector help.

Step 04

Send one scene.

1. Choose the asset.

   Pick a picture that is connected to its 3D model. Right-click it and choose Send to, then your application and renderer. If the picture has no model yet, Oruva asks you to pick it once and remembers the connection.

2. Select the intended source.

   If the archive contains multiple scenes or renderer variants, choose the one you want. Start with a V-Ray or Corona source represented in the compatibility guide.

3. Resolve the textures.

   Review found and missing references. Add the correct texture folder when prompted and recheck before delivery. Missing-texture help.

4. Let delivery finish.

   Keep Oruva and the destination open. Watch the status and wait until importing finishes before starting another send.

Step 05

Look inside the material.

Open the imported material in your destination’s material or node editor. Check its texture connections, layers and bump or normal inputs, then run a small native render.

• Scene structureCheck scale, placement and the parts you expect to remain editable.
• Textures and materialsCheck the main surfaces and confirm bitmap paths resolve.
• Import reportRead approximations or unsupported-feature notices before relying on the result.
• A small renderReview lighting, exposure and colour management alongside the materials.

Step 06

Save. Reopen. Make it yours.
