Of course the old VS target platforms have to be installed and detected by VS 2022 to build for older 3ds Max versions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\"><div class=\"sdm_download_item \"><div class=\"sdm_download_item_top\"><div class=\"sdm_download_thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sdm_download_thumbnail_image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frogsinspace.at\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/03\/trails_square.png\" alt = \"GhostTrails | 3ds Max Plugin\" \/><\/div><div class=\"sdm_download_title\">GhostTrails | 3ds Max Plugin<\/div><\/div><div style=\"clear:both;\"><\/div><div class=\"sdm_download_description\"><p><strong>GhostTrails Plugin<br \/>\n<\/strong>3ds Max 2017 &#8211; 3ds Max 2027<\/p>\n<p>GhostTrails builds for 3ds Max 2017 up to 3ds Max 2027 based on the github source code.<br \/>\nThanks fly to the original plugin creator&nbsp;<a class=\"user-mention notranslate\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/andrewkreid\" data-hovercard-type=\"user\" data-hovercard-url=\"\/users\/andrewkreid\/hovercard\" data-octo-click=\"hovercard-link-click\" data-octo-dimensions=\"link_type:self\">@andrewkreid<\/a> to make the source available.<br \/>\nDocs and examples can be found on the original GhostTrails site at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ghosttrails.net\/\">ghosttrails.net<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For legal reasons, these builds are provided &#8220;as is,&#8221; without any warranty.<br \/>\nUse them at your own risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please consider a donation to support my efforts !<br \/>\n<\/strong>Donations: <a href=\"&quot;\/\/buymeacoffee.com\/frogsinspace&quot;&quot;\" target=\"&quot;&quot;_blank&quot;&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;&quot;noopener&quot;&quot;\"><strong>buymeacoffee.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"sdm_download_version\"><span class=\"sdm_download_version_label\">Version: <\/span><span class=\"sdm_download_version_value\">3.8.1.0_DC20260326<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sdm_download_link\"><span class=\"sdm_download_button\"><form action=\"https:\/\/www.frogsinspace.at\/?sdm_process_download=1&#038;download_id=3980\" method=\"post\" class=\"sdm-g-recaptcha-form sdm-download-form\" target=&quot;_blank&quot;><div class=\"sdm-recaptcha-button\"><input type=\"hidden\" class=\"sdm-g-recaptcha-v3-response\" name=\"g-recaptcha-response\"\/><div class=\"sdm-termscond-checkbox\"><input type=\"checkbox\" class=\"agree_termscond\" value=\"1\"\/> I agree to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frogsinspace.at\/?page_id=3870\" target=\"_blank\">terms and conditions<\/a><\/div><a href=\"#\" class=\"sdm_download orange sdm_download_with_condition\">Download Now!<\/a><\/div><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"download_id\" value=\"3980\" \/><\/form><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"sdm_clear_float\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: Added 3ds Max 2027 support!
