Maxwell Render | Official public forum

hi,

I have just exported scene made on MAx 2011 nad Maxwell 2.6.12, i did by export Pack And GO and their are textures missing.
Now i try to run this scene od MAX 2012 and Maxwell 2.6.14 and this is what happens when i try to render:



Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Any ideas what could i do to fix it?

I have replaced all materials with diffuse with no maps and it still crashing

I have instaled Autodesk 3ds Max 2012 Service Pack 2 and the same problem...

Can you send me the crash dump max generates after the crash? It's a file called 3dsmaxminidump.dmp and it should be in your temporary directory (which is c:\users\name\appdata\local\temp). You can quickly open it by typing %temp% in your start menu run or search box. bogdan.coroi@gmail.com

I have send it

Check your private messages.

The problem you have in your scene is that there are some proxy objects that point to nothing and the plugin assume they have to point to something (which is stupid) and it tries to do stuff and it crashes. I've found a workaround until we'll fix the problem in the next update. Try to delete all the proxy objects that point to nothing.

Here's the list of objects I found:
MxProxyObject001
MxProxyObject796
MxProxyObject797
MxProxyObject798
MxProxyObject799
MxProxyObject800
MxProxyObject801
MxProxyObject802
MxProxyObject803
MxProxyObject804
MxProxyObject891
MxProxyObject891

Thanks for sharing the scene.

Thanks!!! it works perfect now!

How did you find witch proxy is invalid, this scene witch i have send you is just i half of final scene. I need to clena teh other part

Select one proxy object and check its properties. If it doesn't point to anything it should have its Source Object set to None.

I still have proble in finding object with crach the scene, i have send you scene, may be you could take a look, thanks in advance.

Bogdan,

I have the same error. Same software. I haven't got any proxies in my scene.
max crashes when adding a multi/sub material to an object and I try to render.
I even get the same error when I try to export the file to a MXS file.

Please help because I can't figure it out.

Thanks!!

Maxwell won't render a multi-sub material if it has an emitter material in it. Is that the issue you are having?

I don't think it's the same error. The original crash was caused by a bug in the proxy code which we've fixed for the next update, so this must be different. Does Max crash when you try to render or export, or does Maxwell crash after that when rendering? Could you send us a simple scene which crashes?

I still have got the error I tested a very simple scene (attached to this post). I upgraded to 2.6.18 still the same error. There are no emitters in the scene.

Don't know if it's the same error mentioned above or not. I get the same message over and over. Only with multi-sub materials

I tested the scene on a 64bit windows comp with 3dsmax 64bit. On this computer the scene works fine!

What could be the problem?

Thanks for your replies!!

ps. If it is really an other error as mentioned in the title of this post, should I start a new post?

I can't reproduce the crash, your scene renders fine on my computer (Win7 64-bit, Max 2012, Maxwell 2.6.10, plug-in 2.6.18). Do you have regular Max, or Max Design? Do you have any other plug-ins installed aside from Maxwell?

When Max crashes, it creates a file called 3dsmax_minidump.dmp in your temporary directory. This temporary directory is usually C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\Temp, and can be reached easily by typing %temp% in the start menu search box. Please remove that file if it exists, trigger the crash again and send me the file that is written. It contains a snapshot of what the code was doing at the moment of the crash so it should be useful in tracking down the problem.
