Hello
you know there are two blender plugins for maxwell and the development stopped.
i check bmaxwell plugin which is compiled with sdk v3 and blender 2.78 and the problem that the developer "nildar" create his own pymaxwell.pyd
i tried to use the official pymaxwell.pyd but i have some problems ; the new one use new code like mxs.Scene and i think that Scene it is : Cmaxwell(mwcallback)
i tried to import the original pymaxwell as mw and create Scene = mw.Cmaxwell(mw.mwcallback) but always error : i just try to make it work with V4 and pymaxwell4 and add other features.
the other plugin of developer "Carbon "; work fine with v4 but material preview and exporting very slow and importing don't work properly.
and need more features like vdb and fire .
any help very appreciated.
thank you

is it possible to add fire and material preview in pymaxwell like other options :'
DO FLOATING SHADOWS': (0 or 1)
'DO FLOATING REFLECTIONS': (0 or 1)
for example :
'ENABLE FIRE': (0 or 1)
'DO MAT PREVIEW' : (0 or 1)
this will be very helpful for plugins

I am afraid you have to contact them directly if you need support for the Blender plug-ins.

Regarding FIRE or "material preview", we don't include our engine(s) in the public SDK. You have to pay for it

i made some little changes on the plugins to work with maxwell 4 but i can't do more, and the developers stop development definitely.
i hope some new feature in pymaxwell will help in some parts of the plugins.

no problem ; there are just helpful features and not very important in blender

to render material preview from blender can i call the render preview from material editor ?

I am not sure how the blender plug-in works. In our material editor you can just load/edit a MXM material, generate the preview, and save it in the MXM material.

Blender plugin or any other plugin.
When we render the plugin can call maxwell.exe with option : -nogui and use the rendered images.
Can we do the same with material preview by scripting ?

No, sorry

Thanks
