Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hello,

Maxwell, mxstudio and mxed doesn't launch on my Powerbook G4 (1,67Ghz, 1Go, OX 10.4.6, i'm admin on)... just one bounce (or half bounce) in the dock and disappear ! i put the license.dat at the good place...
On my G5, same installation, work perfect !
An idea ?

Thanks a lot
Greg

No problems here with both studio and mxed on my PB 12" G4 1Ghz, maybe a network problem?

I think Maxwell is very sensitive to files that are not quite right. I would begin with new "clean" files and see what happens.

I just installed maxwell on our mac for the first time...no version has ever been on the mac before. The problem is I can't get mxcl to launch. Within studio, when I hit render, nothing happens. Within SU, when I export to render nothing happens.

I have the license file in the maxwell folder, but I don't know what else to check.

Help.

You completed both portions of the Maxwell installation?

1. mxStudio -- click on the help menu and load the license.dat file

2. Maxwell (stand-alone renderer) control click on the app and then place the license.dat file inside the Mac OS folder

NL hasn't done a great job of explaining this so I hope this helps.

That worked. I don't really use macs so I didn't even know that you could control click to get to those other folders.

Thanks!!

control click is like the second click or right click on a mouse. mac multi-button mice work the same way. I use the Mac multi-button mouse.

YES ! i found !
Thanks ton dann_stubbs, here :

it's just an authorization's problem on OSX :
with BatChmod application (freeware), set the authorization at R/W/X, everywhere, and, it's important : 'folders and files included'.

Apply and Enjoy

I downloaded the program and applied those settings first to the Maxwell folder and then again to the whole hard drive. I also have a copy of the license.dat file in the Contents Mac os folder for Maxwell studio and Maxwell render. Regardless Maxwell studio runs and is licensed but when I go to render my computer locks up; or if I try to just open Maxwell Render nothing opens, is there anything else I should change?

Power Book Pro, 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM,120GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive, ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 256MB GDDR3 memory....

I don't think it runs on MacIntel.

I don't know if they're working on a macintel version....

I got it to work but had to reinstall the mac os, without any updates and it works fine. I think the security update is causing Maxwell renderer not to work.

I also contacted nextlimit~


Hi Aria,

at the moment we don't have any experience with Intel powered Macs, so
maybe it's some sort of incompatibility with Maxwell, and the updates
for Intel-Macs. Right now Maxwell is not a Universal Binary, it's a
PowerPC application which must run thru Rosetta, and maybe this is the
source of this problem. We are working on a Universal binary version of
Maxwell which is supposed to be available at the end of this month and
run faster than the current version.

thanx

thats mean 2 things . .waiting for the new maxwell .. or useing the old macOSX

cheers
