hi raduc, sure.
I'm using Maya 2013 and Maxwell v3 with plugin version 3.0.8

and everything is perfect there .. the only thing is this small material update thing .. the other thing is material library - for some reason it now shows and gives you opportunity to pick anything which is in the folder to assign as a material - which turns out as an error in the end .. but I guess you goes already know it. I wish it would be as it was before .. it would show materials as a thumbnails if any and mxm itself if no thumbnail ..but no textures and other images .. it's just doesn't make sense . .not a material library anymore but just a file browser, so it takes more time to distinguish which is thumb and which is texture and which is actually a mxm file. But as I said - probably you guys already aware of this thing.

Thanks for helping.

We're still looking into the update problem, but for now we cannot reproduce it here. What happens if you go to Window -> Rendering Editors -> Maxwell Render -> Maxwell Preferences and set the swatch rendering mode to "Automatic" instead of "On demand"? Also, can you check that the quality, SL, time and resolution have sane values? (The defaults are draft quality, SL 4, time 30 and resolution 64).

The problem with the browser showing all the files is inside the material browser itself, which is part of the main Maxwell package. It cannot be fixed through a plug-in update, but it should be fixed in the next Maxwell patch.

Hi Mihnea Balta - fixed it. I guess my settings were good .. however I found one mistake in the address for a preview scene .. and this is something which didn't change automatically. It was trying to use default preview scene from Maxwell 2 folder in "Applications folder" but since I've updated to Maxwell 3 .. there no more MAxwell 2 folder there . . nut sure why this plugin didn't update by itself .. as I never even opened that settings before .. anyway - I fixed the path for a proper default preview scene in Maxwell 3 folder . .and everything worked as it was before.

Thanks for pointing it out.
And for material browser .. it's okay right now, but definitely was more convenient when mxm file were using preview images and textures were hidden. But it's okay. hope to get new patch soon
Thanks.
