Hi All

pymaxwell's mxi read() is crashing whenever I use it with readHeaderOnly=True on 3.2.1.4 MXI files

Here's the test code:

Code: Select all

from pymaxwell import *

mxi = CmaxwellMxi()

# path = "C:\\Users\\Dave\\Desktop\\3212.mxi" # Works fine
path = "C:\\Users\\Dave\\Desktop\\3214.mxi" # Fails if readHeaderOnly==True

# mxi.read(path) # Works with 3214 mxis
mxi.read(path, True) # Fails with 3214 mxis

sl = mxi.getSamplingLevel()
print "SL: %s" % sl

And here are two MXI files, one from 3212 the other from 3214 https://we.tl/y8cnBgByP5

Not sure if this is best posted in the maxwell render bugs section or here, let me know if best to move it.

Thanks

It is a know issue. If you don't have issues with color MultiLight, I reccomend you to not use 3.2.1.3/4 early builds. Use the official release, or 3.2.1.2 early build, until next version is released.

Hey Brany

Thanks for your reply. What is the latest official release? In the customer portal download area it offers me 3.2.1.4 which led me to believe it was official and out of beta.

That's right. Please use 3.2.1.2 then.
