Bug splat with the alpha 02, too!
The new alpha 03 should be coming out.
@NL : Is there a reason to hold it back?

there are 3 NextLimit people with skp2mxs Alpha.03 in their mailboxes.
This was on the 2nd August. Would be great if this could be posted for all of us having trouble with the 02 version.
Cheers,
Guy

Thanks for uploading Alpha 03 NextLimit.
Unfortunately I'm still having the same problem. Open a tutorial file and it works. Change anything and it doesn't

Almost like a path problem?

Same here. I installed Alpha 3 in SU4 and it will run the tutorial. If I change any Maxwell setting it will not load Maxwell or export a file. I have SU5 demo installed at the same time. Not sure if that might have anything to do with it? In any event, it was good to get Alpha 3 and I will try a few other things to see if it will work.

I have the 03 version working with su5, but only when i send a render the first time. When i send a render a second time i maxwell shows a mxs load error and stops immeadiatly. The only way to start again is to quit su and open again - this makes me think it is a path problem as mentioned earlier.

In Alpha 3, I can create a model, add SU textures and render fine on export, until I change anyparameter (camera, environment, etc). If I change anything other than a texture it will not genrate an mxi file on export - no crash, no error message. If I change only a texture, but no other parameter it generates the following error message:
Exporting: C:\Documents and Settings\PC\Desktop\Untitled.mxs.log
Maxwell: Method Material attributes, Error: Dictionary failed
Maxwell: Method Material attributes, Error: Dictionary failed
