Renders on REBUS have no reflections!?

Have anyone experienced this?

The same mxm's uploaded to Rebus renders fine on my own system. I also tried rendering them on "The Ranch". They look fine there too.

The close up is the Rebus render and the wide is my own render. I tried various settings when generating the mxm's Rebus. I also tried with different kinds of reflective materials.

Hope someone can help me out!?

Thanks
Anders

It may be that the actual mxm is missing in the Rebus upload and it's applying a default material.

I am using FormZ and the Maxwell > Package for render farm menu option. It does not include mxm's used in the project with the packaged files, so I assume they are embedded in the mxs file somehow?

I tried defining the chrome element as a pure 100% object reflective with my modeller. There is no mxm in this case. It works locally and on The Ranch, but not with Rebus.

The Ranch costs a lot more though, so I'd prefer to use Rebus – also it's a better workflow I think.

1. Defined as 75% reflective within Form Z

2. Brush chrome mxm downloaded from MXM Gallery

3. Maxwell Aluminum preset in Form X

I used the Extentions > Maxwell Render > Package for renderfarm menu option to and uploaded the mxs generate with the Rebusmanager application (no errors).

I had this happen with a bump material I had on a floor once with Ranch. I don't know if you use a different version then them it gets screwed up for some things? Like a 3.0.0.0 compared to a 3.0.0.1 or something...
