Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hi there.

I have recently upgrade to maya 2010/11

I was using maxwell with Maya 8.5 before and in the camera properties was a maxwell section, to control the camera settings for use in maxwell.

This is now gone, I can not find any maxwell specific settings in the camera... does it now just take the maya setting for the camera... or am I missing something?

Also when I save an MXS file from maya, when I open this is studio, it gets stuck looking for a camera. maybe the two things are related?

Many thanks in advance

Make sure the plug-in is set to autoload. See the last post in this thread for details.

Please list the Studio version, plug-in version and operating system that you are using. Does rendering straight out of Maya work?

Autoload worked a treat! Camera settings now shown! Thanks

Re this loading camera box hanging around. I am using both XP32 and 64bit systems using Maxwell 2.5.

It also has nothing to do with maya either. If I use Maxwell studio to import some obj files and make a scene, then save the mxs from maxwell. If I close and open maxwell studio and load the mxs I have saved, then this "Loading..." small window still hangs around and will not disappear - it has a progress bar on it that says 0%.

Thanks for your speedy help!!!

You can see a video here of the problem: http://www.protograph.co.uk/studio_problem.mp4


On the video I import a obj into maxwell studio 2.5, then I save the MXS file.
I close maxwell studio and then open it again and open the MXS file...

You can then see the window stay open saying Loading... camera, it will not disssapear

thanks

hi mark,

i just tested your workflow, but i cannot confirm this strange behavior!
everything works fine here...

maybe it is your obj file, which makes trouble?
