Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hi guys,

when I import a Rhino Model to Studio and after applying materials and setting everything up I get a error message maxwell:[20/May/2016] [ERROR]
Error parsing argument : Modell/Hotello.png" -p:low

Ive looked everywhere but I cannot find a solution for this problem.


Also the render nodes aren't shown. I have 3 different pcs with Network Rendering running and they don't show up on my Monitor. Any clues what could've gone wrong there?

My guess on the first issue would be that there are quotation marks in an output filename (e.g. Render Options > Output > Image, MXI), and that this is causing the command-line parsing to fail, when Studio tries to start Maxwell.

Turn off all firewalls on all computers and see if they connect. If they still don't connect, start a node on the same computer that's running the Manager and see if that works. If it does, then make sure all your nodes are properly licensed by just opening Maxwell.exe and look in the console if they receive their license ok.

Yeah that was it. Thanks!
