Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Trying to render from within Rhino...Fire works, render does not.

Restarted, checked directory for Maxwell Render 5 => Maxwell.exe (it's there)

Suggestions.

Hello J,

Are you sure you are using the latest version of Maxwell and plugin? Maxwell should be 5.0.1.16 and plugins's 5.0.6.1.
If you expand the command window, could you show what it shows right after starting Rhino?

Best,
Fernando

Hi Fernando-

Here's from the command line.

Both Rhino 6 and MW V5 are clean installs.

Further, here's what I get on the command line when opening Rhino:

Loading Maxwell Plugin, version 5.0.6.1, Jan 03 2019, 16:14::27
Maxwell 5.0.6.1 1/3/2019 4:14:27 PM [sdk: 5.0.1.16.106, engine: 5.0.1.16]
Maxwell for Rhino plugin Successfully loaded

Must have been an installation issue, re-installed latest version and it works.

Thanks!

Hello James,

I'm glad you could make it work. I'm still curious to understand what was happening. It was a bit odd.

Fernando
