I made some textures of some clothes in png format with transparent background but when i export to Maxwell from SketchUp the textures with transparent channels are not converted right. Is there a setting in the exporter for this?

I could be wrong but I don't believe Maxwell recognizes the alpha channel from a png or a tiff. You'll have to create a separate alpha channel and use that in your material

you have to create a Maxwell material.
If you have no experience just copy a material from the online Maxwell library and alter the clipmap or transparancy mapping.
