Maxwell Render | Official public forum

hi
I have 2 problem with the new plug-in 2.7.3 for the ArchiCAD 16 on the mac osx 10.8.2 :

1.
the grass not see in fire engine and maxwell render

2.
if launch the render after fire engine it not have problem, but if launch the render with "start render" in Maxwell's palette, the maxwell closes!

Hello,

1. Currently Maxwell Grass is not supported by the plugin in FIRE mode.

2. That is strange. Do you have the latest Maxwell version (2.7.20)?

Hi Márton,
thanks for your answer.

Hello,

1. Grass is not visible in FIRE (under ArchiCAD) because it caused system instability. Until it is not solved, I disabled it.

2. So you say FIRE runs fine, but Maxwell Render doesn't start? Is it only in case you have grass in the scene or it happens with very simple scenes too?

I've made some test with the maxwell grass : (ArchiCAD 16 on MacOS 10.6.8 Maxwell Render 2.7.20 ac2mxs 2.7.3)
- with mesh maxwell grass is ok in Maxwell Render
- with roof maxwell grass is ok in Maxwell Render
- with slab maxwell grass not function
- with morph as slab, maxwell grass not function
- with morph modify , maxwell grass is strange ....

Francesco

sorry for my bad english

Marton, we have talked about this and you gave me a new maxwell grass plugin...
I will try if in this update it still works properly on slabs!
Cheers!

Ok, if somebody have this very same issue with grass, you can download a patch:

Please overwrite the grass extension file inside the Maxwell/extensions folder.

I hope it helps!

Thanks everybody.
Tomorrow i'm going to try.
