- 02
Send to your app
Right-click the picture, choose Send to, then your app and renderer. Missing textures are listed before sending.
- 03
Edit natively
A native scene opens with real, editable materials. Anything approximated is listed in a report.

Corona and V-Ray, rebuilt for your renderer
- Cinema 4D: Redshift, Corona, V-Ray, Octane or Arnold
- Blender: Cycles, Eevee or V-Ray
- Maya: V-Ray or Arnold, with Redshift in beta
- Houdini: Karma, Arnold or V-Ray, with Redshift in beta
- SketchUp: V-Ray, Thea or Enscape
- Textures found by filename next to the .max, in nearby maps folders, or in a folder you add once
Good to know
- Files saved in 3ds Max 2009 through 2027.
- Forest Pack, RailClone and Corona proxies aren’t supported yet.
- Symmetry, Mirror, Chamfer and some other modifiers aren’t applied. Oruva uses the base mesh and warns you.
- Renders won’t always match 1:1. When a renderer can’t express something exactly, the report says so.
Your library
Find any model. By text, image or colour.
By image
Drop a photo or screenshot. Oruva isolates the object and searches your library for a visual match.
By colour
Filter the whole library by colour to find the sofa, rug or lamp that fits your palette. It all runs on your computer.
New · AI 3D scene building (Oruva Link)
ChatGPT or Claude builds the interior. With the models you own.
Give ChatGPT or Claude a photo or a sentence. Through Oruva, it finds models in your own library and builds the scene in your open 3D app, with native, editable materials. Oruva doesn’t generate models: it builds with real meshes from your library, in a scene you keep editing.
Windows · Paid Oruva license · Requires the Codex app or Claude desktop app
What ChatGPT or Claude receives: your prompt and any photo you share, plus what Oruva returns to build the scene: model names, tags and descriptions, preview pictures, sizes, the scene’s object and material names, and renders of the scene. Your model files and folder paths are never sent.

Questions
Before you download
Can I open 3dsky or Evermotion models without 3ds Max?
Yes. Oruva opens .max models from 3dsky, Evermotion, Design Connected or your own projects without 3ds Max installed. Convert files you own or are licensed to use.
Does it keep Corona and V-Ray materials?
Yes. Oruva rebuilds Corona and V-Ray materials as editable materials for the renderer you use, with their textures relinked. Renders won’t always match 1:1; when a renderer can’t express something exactly, the conversion report says so.
Which apps and renderers does Oruva support?
Cinema 4D 2024 or later with Redshift, Corona, V-Ray, Octane or Arnold; Blender 4.2 to 5.2 with Cycles, Eevee or V-Ray; Maya 2024 to 2027 with V-Ray or Arnold, and Redshift in beta; Houdini 20.5 to 21.x with Karma, Arnold or V-Ray, and Redshift in beta; SketchUp 2024 to 2026 with V-Ray, Thea or Enscape. It also opens them in 3ds Max, if you have it.
Which 3ds Max versions can Oruva open?
Oruva opens files saved in 3ds Max 2009 through 2027, including the older versions most model libraries still use.
Can I search my whole model library?
Yes. Local AI tags and describes every preview, so you can search your library by words, by colour or with a photo, and it runs on your computer.
Can ChatGPT or Claude build an interior with my models?
Yes, with AI 3D scene building (Oruva Link), included with a paid license on Windows. Give ChatGPT in the Codex app, or the Claude desktop app, a photo or a sentence, and it builds the scene in your open 3D app with models from your own library.
