MXI files generated in beta 1.2.0 are obsolete. You need to generate the MXI with the new patch 1.2.1.

There are 2 types of MXI

- MXI continuables: this is a MXI file generated from a render and can be used to continue the render. It is generated launching a render with -mxi:w option. Then it is continuable with -mxi:c option

- MXI emission: this is a MXI generated from conversion of a image to MXI ( with the interface ). You can apply this MXI to an emitter. The render will show an ilumination generated from this MXI.
