Materials ignored...

I have updated to all the latest versions of FZ, Maxwell and the plugin. I am getting a problem both on the Mac and a PC running Win7 64 bit where new mxm materials are ignored by the plugin and the FZ material is used instead. Materials from the program folder seem to work however. Also I can apply my new materials inside Studio and they then render fine.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Same problem here. MXM preview doesn't show up in FormZ either. Was working with v2.1 but has stopped working with v2.5.

Okay, it definitely sounds like there is a problem where the last release of Maxwell 2.5 has broken some aspects of material handling in the MaxwellZ plugin.

Please use the previous version on Maxwell until we can get this resolved.

Hmmm. It is working fine for me so far. EDIT.... I am having the same problem with one old file.

Using Maxwell 2.5 and latest MacOSX.

I can see my mxm previews in FZ's surface style palette.

Steven- the problem only occurs with MXMs created with MXED 2.5
