Hello!
I have just bought Modo and trying to learn to use it. I have used Maxwell with rhino and now I am trying to use Maxwell with Modo.
But I have a small problem with the plugin. When I try to render in maxwell or open studio from the plugin it gives me this warning:
" Can´t find Maxwell Render program file. Please search for it in the next dialog."
OK. So I give the path to navigate. Ohjelmat_Maxwell_Maxwell.app_Contents_MacOs_Maxwell. exec
(As you see Programs file is in finnish"Ohjelmat")
(I also changed the Maxwell2 file name to Maxwell as I read in some topic)

But I still get Maxwell plugin for Modo-Error : Maxwell Render Path is Wrong!!! Can´t start Maxwell Render or Maxwell Studio.
My Luxology folder in the library/application supportfolder does not have a Modo friend Maxwell-folder as I think it should(?).
I am able to save my file in mxs and open it in studio but it would be nice if the plugin would work for me as intended.
I have tried to install Modo and Maxwell plugin several times but nothing seems to help.
Is there anybody out there who can help me?

thanks,
Heikki

Hello Heikki!

Sorry for the late replay...

Have you checked Luxology folder in /Users/<yourname>/Library/Application Support/ or in /Library/Application Support ? The plug-in is at /Library/Application Support/Luxology folder, but it will change in the next update.
I think the plug-in is installed well, because you can see the Maxwell menu in modo.

Is there any space character in your Maxwell app path? - that was a bug we have cleared since last release.

The new plug-in update is very close, and it will fix this issues.

Thanks Márton for the reply. Even though I can´t get it working.
But if there is update for the plug-in coming soon, I can wait. I still can save in mxs and open in studio.

thanks,
Heikki
