What is an “Archive” in 3Ds MAX
In 3ds Max, the “Archive” feature is used to create a compressed file that includes the current scene file along with all associated files such as textures, containers, objects and scenes. When you choose to archive a file, 3ds Max automatically locates all the files referenced in the scene and compiles them into a single archive file, which can be saved in a directory of your choice. This is particularly useful for backing up a project or transferring it to another system, ensuring that all necessary files are included
