Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Material tab = OK
Camera tab = crashes rhino
Options tab = OK
All other tabs = blank

Happens on our two Maxwell stations here.

See ?
No scurrilous remarks.

Sorry Olivier, but there is nothing I can do about this -- there is some issue with the version of .NET Framework being loaded in Rhino, and this renders my user-interface basically inoperative. I had Holger try uninstalling .NET 4.0 to see if that would get things working again, but it apparently made things even worse. So, you will probably just have to wait until the next Rhino WIP build for things to be working properly again.

Ok, saw Holger's post in the newsgroup.
Dot.net 4 thing.
I managed to make it work using Steve's trick with the command line.

Not sure I quite understand here : Dot.Net is what you use to make the Plug-in, so what can RMA do about the fact that the plug-in is not compatible with the version 4 ?

Just trying to figure out what's actually happening...

Thanks, I missed that trick.

any news on that topic?
does it work with the newest version? I need to update soon ...

If the plugin doesn't work immediately after updating, you should just need to download and install the full .NET Framework 4.0:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en

You can check whether you need this or not using Add/Remove Programs; it will be necessary if you only have the 'Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile' installed. If you have no .NET Framework 4 at all, then the plugin should still work fine, but Windows Update may still install the 'Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile' at any time; if or when that happens, the issue will appear and you will then need to download and install .NET 4.0 from the link above.

The issue has to do (if you haven't figured it out yet from reading the above) with Rhino 5.0 loading .NET 4.0 when it is available, and it presents a problem when the .NET 4.0 installed is the so-called Client Profile, which is a reduced-size framework that excludes a couple of components required by the plugin.

thanks a lot.
it seems to work fine, since I've got no .net installed.
