Install a 3D app connector
Cinema 4D, Blender, Maya, Houdini and SketchUp receive scenes through a small Oruva connector.
Steps
- Install your 3D app and renderer, and check they start normally.
- Save your work and close every instance of that app.
- In Oruva, open Preferences → 3D Connectors (or the first-run setup) and choose Install beside the version you use.
- Reopen the app, wait for it to finish loading, and start with a fresh scene.
Each app’s card says whether Oruva found it on this computer. Each version shows its connector: Installed & up to date, Not installed or Update available. When you have several versions, Prefer picks the one Send to uses. After updating Oruva, check whether a connector update is waiting too. 3ds Max opens the extracted .max scene without a connector.
