Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hello Jd,

i just downloaded this plugIN:

http://en.wiki.mcneel.com/default.aspx/ ... ening.html

but I could not get it to work with maxwell directly, actually it didn't work with the built in rhino Render either; (it is displayed correctly in the viewport however)
But it has a command _extractSoftenedEdgeMesh to get the geometry from it.

Now i was wondering if it was possible to let the maxwell plugIn access those meshes directly without extracting them by hand?
I think all of us could make use of the edge softening plug in... a very nice addOn, imo!

*edit: i guess the same question is valid for the displacement plugIn:

cheers,

This is a great find, very nice tool. Thanks for the like polynurb.
Please Jeremy try to make this work with maxwell!

To use this requires that Maxwell would be compiled using the new RDK. The Maxwell plugin uses the Rhino .Net SDK, and there is not yet anything from McNeel which would allow the two to work together. So, my options are to either compile a second 'helper' plugin using the RDK and make it talk to the .Net-based Maxwell plugin, or wait until McNeel ports the RDK to .Net. I am looking into the first option, and keeping an eye on things regarding the second.

cool plugin indeed, thanks for the link!

any update on this? It would be an awesome feature.

This works for long already-without extracting the mesh.

...with Maxwell? ¿?

Yep.

...I can't do it
It renders straight edges here
...maybe with tobacco and some alcohol

(sorry for the bad joke, don't even know if it has any sense in english)

Check the value of Scene Manager > Options > Ignore RDK.

Here when it's ON it doesn't render soft edges, and when it's OFF it crash
'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' has ocurred in 'mscorlib'


...with v2.0.1.0

Thanks, yes, there's a problem with it in 2.0.1 that will be fixed in the next 2.x update (a few days from now).

Since this is the 1.x part of the forum though, the 'Ignore RDK' info is still valid here - it should be working fine in 1.8.3.

Thanks JD!
