Hi there,
the Maya 2014 Extension (formerly known as Subscription Advantage Pack) brings us the great new XGen toolset which Autodesk licensed from Disney Animation.
The @MaxwellRender Twitteraccount told me that it should already work with Maxwell.
Hi @fvonb It works fine. XGen distributes maya instances over the surface, MW then takes those instances and renders them as MW instances
Any hints what buttons need to be pushed. Right now I can't seem to get it to work. I tried Primitive Type "Sphere" and "Archive".
Cheers, Florian

I don't think it's possible to use XGen in Maxwell without special support in our exporter plug-in. We will look into this as soon as possible and give you a definitive answer. If special support is needed, we will try to add it for the next plug-in update.

We haven't made any progress on this issue yet. We are still planning to support XGen, but we've had to focus our resources on other features so far.
