Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hi,
i was trying to setup the texture size with maxwell v3 in 3ds. I tried maxwell texture settings first, then the UVW Map Modifier size settings. Both would show tweaking changes in the viewport but not in the ActiveShade. I basically want to use a metric approachm where i define the size of the maxwell materials, and then use it in the 3ds scenes based on the unit settings of the scene. I checked the downloadable Maxwell 3ds Plugin manual, but it doesn't address this feature there.
How is this done ?

Also, why am i getting an exclamation mark in the maxwell node ?

Frank

I can address the exclamation point issue. It appears any time you change anything about the material, indicating you need to refresh the preview.

ah ok thx

answer for texturing problem around ? How to get Maxwell materials to use the 3ds UV-Mapping ?

Set texture to relative instead of meters. Meters relate to real-world coordinates in max (so you should check it in max if you use it, I think, I don't use this option that much).

Thx Fernando,
suddenly it works with UVW Map settings as expected :-O ... probably the restart in between fixed a hanger.

do you mean View / Redraw All Views ? Or another refreshing the preview? In the ActiveShade the changes i've made are re-rendered simultaneously without reexporting.

I meant only on the material preview.
