Error with textures or materials with accent in name.

Hi,

Using 3dsmax Design 2013 x64

Using materials or textures which have accents in name produces error in maxwell (if texture name has accent) or 3dsmax not reading material (if mxm name has accent).

I'm afraid Maxwell can't handle non-ASCII characters in file names. It's always been like this, but some characters worked regardless because they were converted to an ASCII equivalent behind the scenes. It looks like something has changed in the 2.7 SDK because it's less tolerant than before. I don't have a solution at this time.

Hmm... It works fine in 3dsmax 2012. It should be something that changed in 3dsmax 2013.

Maybe related to the unicode change?

Yeah, most likely. We'll fix it.

Coding for max is always an adventure, right? :?
