Have been having some trouble getting the Modo to Maxwell plugin up and running
Here is what I am trying to use:
platform mac 10.6.7
modo 401 clean install (i did have 501 running but after trying a few times to make the plugin work i decided to nuke it and start with 401 from scratch)
maxwell 2.5.1
most recent modo-maxwell plugin
1. when i try to send a render directly into maxwell from modo, i get an "open mxs file" error with the following text "/Users/adamelstein/Library/Application Support/Luxology/Plug-ins/Maxwell plugin for Modo/Default Export/testturnstile.mxs cannot be read." Pardon my relative inexperience with the mac, but--if this is not the right place for the directory to be installed, where else should i install it?
2. when i try to export the file as an mxs, either directly through the plugin or through modo by doing "save as", the plugin seems to work (the test log reports 0 errors) but creates an empty mxs file. this is the case whether i "save as" to the desktop or save to the default export folder in the /users/adamelstein/... pathway
i am sure i am making some silly mistake, so i apologize in advance! i would love to get this working though and i have run through whatever i can think of to make that happen
thks
