Hi
I'm loving Maxwell 2.7. But a couple of little hiccups. First, I cannot get the 2.7.4 (Jun 18th) LightWave plug-in to work. I'm using LW 10.1, 32-bit WinXP. The install seems to go fine, but within Layout my pressing Maxwell's buttons just gets me "Plug-in Maxwell Interactive failed to start" "Plug-in Maxwell Properties failed to start", etc. I've tried manually installing the plug-in in Layout via Utilities/"Add plugins" but to no avail; my clicking on the plugin reports, "Plugin were not found or could not be added." Is 2.7 for LW11 only by some chance (even though the portal download page says "10.1")?
Reverting back to the 2.6 plug-in works okay, and that's what I've been using, but I've never been able not to use a plugin update before so I'm a little baffled. If it's just some little thing then forgive me for missing it, but do enlighten me please.
On the other subject...
I've been given a chance to test out some so my Maxwell-rendered animation footage on a nice 3D projection system, so I wish to re-render it out for that. LightWave does Stereoscopic output, but I see nothing in the (2.6) M~R plugin to that end, and I've not come up with a work-around to easily get LightWave's cameras "Stereo 3D Rendering" settings to Maxwell. (I'd really prefer not to have to manually shift the camera over _mms in the scene, rotate it to match the convergence point, repeat for other eye, etc.)
I'm guessing that doing 3D Maxwell via the LW plugin isn't a feature that's capable yet, but I figured I'd ask.
Thanks for listening
