Hi everyone,

Patches for the Cinema4D and the SolidWorks plug-in for Maxwell Render 1.5 are now available for download. We have improved and fixed the following:

In Cinema4d:

-The animation frame step value is used now.
-The PPC version can launch several mxcl and mxed instances concurrently.
-Roughness value of Diffuse tags is checked (<=0.0) when reading scenes.
-Diaphragm Type of Maxwell Camera tags is checked for valid type when reading scenes.
-Latitude, longitude and GMT are active no matter what the city is. If any value is modified, City is switched automatically to Custom in the button/pop-up.
-OSX PPC build (9.603) available.
-The launching process of mxcl and mxed from Cinema has been modified. Multiple renders can be started sequentially and multiple instances of mxed can be opened.
-Fixed latitude-longitude bug in Physical Sky parameters.
-Fixed multimaterial bugs.
-Fixed Frontal projection UVs bug.
-Fixed light mapping routines.
-Fixed loading of v1.1Custom MXM materials.
-Mxcl now writes the MXI file in the same place as the MXS file.

In SolidWorks:

- Fixed potential crash loading assemblies.
- Fixed issue when saving an mxs file with the "save as" option which launched mxcl.
- Fixed "save as" option when the extension is in lower case.
- Fixed triangle groups exportation. Now SolidWorks faces are exported as triangle groups only if the material applied to the face is different to the material applied to the body. It is very useful to select SolidWorks faces within Studio.
- Added render setting to choose whether SolidWorks exports spot lights or not.
- Fixed some situations when some render parameters could become corrupted when read.

Thanks,

Nicole
