First i have a licence problem:
I have the same license problem. It still running in demo mode !!!
I have installed Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Is it the problem?

Second i habe a modo plugin problem:
I did also download the new modo Plugin. The plugin works in modo, but
if i click on the render icon i have the following Warning:

"Can't find Maxwell Render program file. Please search for it in the next dialog"

I click ok and search in the next dialog. But there i can't select the program file!!
If i click on the maxwell render Programfile it shows me the next hiden folder level "content"...
i can select the fiele maxwell.app > contents > MacOS > maxwell but this one also don't works!!

Next step i did export a mxs file from the Save as dialog. OK this works half. If i tries to render my scene,
there are textures missed and the rendering is also stopped. Why does the modo plugin not create a
Texture folder?

So at all, at the moment it don't works!

My other Plugins like SketchUp plugin and ... , i didn't check out yet....

Thank's for help

Hi Michael,

Is your Maxwell V2 app folder named Maxwell? (Make sure it's not called Maxwell 2 or anything)

It sounds like you're taking the correct route but just to confirm:

Applications/Maxwell/Maxwell.app/Contents/MacOs/Maxwell

...you have to select the maxwell unix exe file.

Thanks.

ok, now it works. I did rename the folder (it was maxwel 2). I did rename the old maxwell folder. I have still installed the version 1.7.

First i created a simple box in modo. And forgot to save the scene. I had some strange errors. After saving the scene it did work.

Second i did open a old modo scene. And tried to render it with maxwell. It didn't work. I had this error in maxwell render:

Loading Bitmaps & Preprocessing Data
WARNING: - Default Material not specified. Lambert grey will be used.
</tt>
ERROR: - UVW channels ( 0 ) on object "Column 03.lxl (2)" not enough for material "(I)Column 03.lxl (2)(M)saeule2"
</tt>
ERROR: - Data preprocess failed. Render cannot continue

ERROR: - Render Failed

What i'm doing wrong?

Here you can download my modo test scene:
download modo scene

Thank's for help

thanks for the file, have had a brief check and the meshes are fine - it's just an issue with the maps. Think it might be something to do with preset objects/files (.lxl) that use specific texture maps, but shall take a closer look tomorrow.

Thank's sampson

I had a computer crash. Now i have again the same problem in modo. Modo can't again find the maxwell programs. I did reinstall maxwell and the modo plugin and rename the application folder "maxwell 2" (it's standard name in the installations image) to "maxwell. But now problem don't go away. Very very strange, because before the crash it did work. I can't explain....
Have i to delete the preferences Files in the Mac Library?

Greetings Michel

[sampson]

the application folder must be called Maxwell and not Maxwell 2, for the plugin to work.

...you might be asked to go and find the Maxwell.app again if it crashed out as it wouldn't have saved the preference/path.

it's possible you might have to delete the com.luxology.modo401 in preferences.

hi,

Have checked your scene again & it's a UV mapping problem on some of the objects - to fix you'll need to go through and check they're all correctly mapped, if i find a quick way round it i'll let you know.

Hi Michel,

Does the plug-in start now?

As sampson has already written, the scene error is because of some UV related problems.
The current plug-in version doesn't support Planar,Spherical,Cubic, etc. projection types, only UV Map projection.

Support of the other standard projection types (spherical, cubic, cylindrical, planar) is on the top of the priority list, so it will be soon implemented. In the mean time please use uv maps.

Thank's sampson and Marton Day 8

No the plugin still not work correct. After each start from modo, if i click the maxwell render Icon, i have first to set the path. I did delete the modo and maxwell files in the Library > Application support, and the preferences files. I did reinstall modo and maxwell, but still the same.

Ok, so i will use UV maps. I'm glad if this is fixed soon.

cheers Michel
