Material Editor hangs 3dsmax 2020 when project files have been relocated
Posted: Sat Nov 16, 2019 7:18 pm
Hi,
I installed Maxwell v5 and tried to load some max files. The following bug or feature appeared...
What is the problem?
I've experienced infinite hangs when a scene and textures have been relocated when the standard material editor opens. In previous versions of V4 Maxwell detects missing textures only when you open up a material in the editor. Then you can reassign paths.
Why do I need a fix?
Maxwell Plugin cannot be effieciently used in production with this bug.
What can be a possible solution?
Fix Maxwell Max2020 Plugin, so it only checks texture paths when a single material is opened. A popup should appear to reassign paths. A much better solution would be a automatic path scan like other apps have and a menu to quickly reload or reassign textures in a material.
