I have an issue with ActiveShade with Maxwell...

Even with a small scene : plane+teapot, it gives me an error telling "only perspective views are supported", then black with no way to close activeShade, then 3dsmax crash...

Of course, i've tried both camera / persp view...

3dsmax2012 + maxwell 2.6.0 (plugin 2.6.14)

Always start it having a perspective viewport or a perspective camera active in viewport.

i did that...

i've used it with 2.5.x... with no problem... but now that i'm in 2.6.0, crash...

Make sure the render viewport/camera isn't locked to an ortho view. Check the Viewport dropdown in the render settings and the lock icon next to it. If this isn't the problem, could you save a scene which crashes and send it to us?

There is also an "orthographic" checkbox in the camera parameters. Make sure it is unchecked.

no way...

Just start 3dsmax, put a plane + teapot, create camera (not ortho), choose MX as activeShade, then ask a view to be activeshade (the camera view)... same error, same crash then

ok, i get it !!

Start activeShade from menu is ok, but ask for a viewport view to be activeshade crashes...

I'm so used to do so with VrayRT...

It seams a bug to me : we should be able to set a view as the ActiveShade...

Confirmed here too. Activeshade in viewport = crash.

Confirmed. Will be fixed for the next update.
