THe command line is not available in mac due the way the apps connect between them. To use multiligh you should generate the mxs in formZ and then launch it from a terminal with the parameter -ml. For instance:
mxcl -d -ml -mxs:"test.mxs" -o:"test.tga"
The other way it opening the mxs inside maxwell app and enable the multilight checkbox.
Regards,
Juan

Hi Juan!
A bit tricky but I found a way to get to to work.
Once you render from Formz, whilst in the Maxwell app-
- Click the stop button.
- Under 'Render options' tab, click enable multilight under MXI.
- Click on play.
- Under 'Preview/MXI' tab click on Multilight.
I was then able to alter the lights.
Great!
Cheers

I fogot to mention that the integral thing is to stop the rendering
as you cannot turn on any of the settings whilst its rendering (juan:why?).
Once Multilights and glare is on then press the play icon.
I think this redoes teh render from teh beginning so I suggest
doing this as soon as the rendering starts (i.e. when you clicked render
in Formz and it appears in Maxwell).
Once you alter the settings you press the refresh button to update the rendered image.
Anyone else have anything to add or comment please do so.
(for macosx).
