..with the new plugin. i attach an mxm in sketchup and all texture paths are there...but when the render opens, it fails to find textures for the materials... all textures are in a 'materials' folder within the folder containing the skp and mxs..anyone else experience this?

You may need to set "Image Search Path" in Maxwell export options for MXM textures.

All SU textures are exported to sub-folder and linked properly. However MXM textures (textures used within MXM files) are not re-linked - for those you either need to keep them in the same folder as they were when MXM file was created or you need to set "Image Search Path" to point where textures for MXM files are stored.
