Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hi all!

First of all, i'm glad to see a almost working version, thanks NL for finally delivering it..

Almost working because it seems that the mac LW plug-in can't write mxm:

- basic material with 2 layers (base and "specular") created in mxed..
- render frame -> everything starts well, but the material rendered is a diffuse mat created from lightwave's material editor, not the custom mxm..
- opening the mxs in studio does the same, but if i edit the mat there then it works (but again if i re-use this mat in lightwave it return to default diffuse)..

Does someone have any clue or the same problem? Does it work for someone with from mac/lightwave? Could it be a path problem?

Thanks for any help, I already tried quit a few tricks but nothing works! It's a bit frustrating to have again a no-working workflow since everything else seems to work well...!

Does mxm works for someone in maxwell? I can't make it work...!

No, it doesn't work and i have no clue why.

ingo, thanks a lot! so it might not be a config problem..

If it works for anyone it would be usefull to talk about it, otherwise we could start reporting bugs in the current versions!

If you are using create mxm from surface you need to type the file extension when saving out. For me this is moot as I can't get the plugin to save out any geometry!

I tried to attach materials from the material database which looks okay in LW, but doesn't save out of LW into the mxs file, so i have to reattach them in mxstudio, which didn't really work too.
