I have a su model with all material and maps applied to it. I need to render it with mawell so I started to set su material to maxwel material the problems is with some objects with maps that does not show up at all.
I followed the procedure explained here but it does not work. afeter I set the material and the map in maxwell I tried to check the material and maxwell does not report any material applied to the object. what's wrong with some objects?
thanks

I have the same problem. If you apply new materials with different names it will render them. The new plugin will not render materials on models completed before installation of the new plugins. Sound strange. If you want to use the same materials, you need to export them , rename them and reapply them. Just reapplying them or renaming them in Maxwell will not work. Give it a try and report back. Bump maps work though and so do pngs. This was not true in the previous release.

Jake, thanks for the reply, terrible thing to hear from a new plug-in.
Is there any plug-in version that you know was working fine?
How can download old plug-ins?
Thanks for the advice.

You can use the old plugin, but it doesn't support bumps and a lot of other things. And if you have an illeagl character in a material name it won't render. So, your kind of stuck.
