Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Several developers report posts being auto-removed—ask the mods before posting obvious self-promo or commercial plugin announcements.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, news, question
Use short, descriptive titles (often first-person: “I built…”, or ToolName — feature). Open with a brief greeting and a one-line summary, then include images/video and a technical breakdown or feature list; ask for feedback when appropriate. Tone: professional, helpful, and craft-focused; posts that show polished renders, workflows, plugins or useful breakdowns get upvoted—blatant marketing may be removed.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked October 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/3dsmax's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
