maybe the problem is with triangulating all the polys? if i'm not wrong, maxwell likes it only triangulated, at least in the last beta version. also, maybe try the object doctor on your geometry.nik_h wrote:I've tried the new plugin with 10 different models, all untextured. Each time I get the same error:
"The mxs file has not been written successfully. Check the geometry of the scene and the texture formats..."
Just me, or is everyone having this issue?

We are investigating which issues are you getting. In our systems the process of writing a mxs file is pretty fast in comparison with older versions of the plugin. For instance, the piano scene of the autodesys website takes a few seconds in being generated and with older plugins it took almost ten minutes. you are talking about this fruit bowl? :mgroeteke wrote: i had some success, but the plugin is much too slow: the output of the cgtalk fruit bowl scene took around 20 minutes on a 2x2.7 G5 mac... no comment!
yes it's this scene. i can confirm, if i set all the materials to a neutral gray matte, then it exports in around a minute on a powermac G5 quad. it now took 13 minutes when i left the materials as they where when imported in formz from a lightwave model (materials did not contain tetxures!). so there seems to be an issue with materials.juan wrote:Hello,

The mxs file takes around one minute in be generated within the plugin in a Dual 2Ghz G5 , 1GB DDR2. It takes less than 30 seconds in load into Studio.

hi juan, it's maxwell'teach' or 'tech' in your address? just have the feeling it's more tech..juan wrote:Hello Markus,
If you want/can you can send me the fz fruit bowl with to maxwellteach@nextlimit.com. The geometry exporting process is slow when there are textures but it there are not, it should be fast. I will like to take a look to investigate what¡s happening. Thanks a lot.

I am working with your scenes now.. thanks a lot!
