Maxwell Render | Official public forum

just a little thing.. but some programs write files with alternate naming convention.. looks like the plug in can't import .jpeg

cheers,
d.

well I've started using only png's for Maxwell for the main reason that this way I can click on the little icon in the materiol previewer and it opens up my png file (defaults to PS) in Photoshop to edit, and when I double click on an "ordinary" jpg in other locations then it opens the window viewer which is where I want to see those.

i see.. png is a good format!

however i go for .jpg on any texture except i need 16 or more bits .. simply for space efficiency and the big speedup you get @loading, especially when having large textures.

Go to your AppData folder and search for a file named rgb_image_types.txt; it will be in a sub-directory of a folder in your roaming profile named MaxwellDotNET. If you open the file, you'll see this:
Change it to this:
Next time you start Rhino, that should be the list of allowable texture formats.
