Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hi

i get a brand new error !

cant start the maxw-render anyway, if i want to render "any scene" inside modo 401 plug in !


nothing happend in modo , no render starts after hit the maxwell plug in-render button, no export, no send file to studio... simply nothing !

relaunch, restart MacOS X..(10.6)...nothing helps, there is no problem launch Maxw-Studio but not
from the modo plug in.

maybe i am a idiot , shure there a some stupid simple tasks to resolve the problem,
please help

(also is there any need to asking always the same question for the maxwell.app ? )

Sounds like it is not installed properly, have you tried doing a re install?

Hello,

Yes, it really seems as an installation problem.

Let's start to fix the installation, and deal with the uv thing after that.

As you have written, your Maxwell application file location:
application/maxwell2/maxwell.app/contents/Mac OS / Maxwell /


Unfortunately the maxwell2 folder can cause problem for the installer. There is an earlier thread about it:
http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... 08#p309008

If it is not a problem for you to rename "maxwell2" to "maxwell" or reinstall maxwell to application/maxwell/maxwell.app/... then please do it, I think it will help.


Let me know how it is going.

i am sorry but there is not installation- routine in Mac OSX like in Windows a dragged the folder maxwell folder to application dir under Mac OS10.6
and installed the modo 401 plug in.

i am already work with Maxwell since RC1 but i never experience installations problems before, but maybe you right i will completly re-install Maxwell and modo now.

,thank you very much for help

ok

After re-install maxwell and also Modo and deleting every preference- files

Maxwell will start again from the modo plug in, but now i got a new happy error messages here:


aftet simply open the downloading training scene "quickstart.lxm in modo and hit the render button :

cant figure out , what is the problem ?

thanks

(maybe maxwell is still a application that hits you with lightspeed to the deadline,because all that errors and crashes are very time consumed.)

Have you got a uvwmap set up for the object? that is the usually why you get that error.

thank for reply Neil

you are right that is a uncorrekt mapping error
but it is the tutorial scene that didnt work that comes with Maxwell.

This scene files works on windows ,just simply hit the render buttons after open the downloaded file without changig anything.
it works( under windows)

but not under Mac OS X ! ?

Wierd, when I get a sec I will give it a try and see if I get the same error.

Please check that you have the same global settings under OSX and Windows.

Open the GLOBAL values window -> click on Texture Locator -> and check the setting there...

Márton

thank very much for the replay morton

but i stop working with MR v2 on Mac OS X,

I hope the Windows version works well for you.

I will spend more time to stabilize the OSX version too.
