Picked up formz about a month ago and maxwell about a week and half ago. Been able to put together some decent things (considering I just started 3d stuff period a month ago) but I'm still experimenting with everything. Are most of you guys using the Plug In or exporting to studio?? I don't really understand the texture mapping in studio compared to the very simple "texture map" tool in FormZ. Also, any materials I create in editor and then try to assign to objects in FormZ using the plug in, and then try to render it says Error: UVW channels ( 0 ) on object "Object 1" not enough for material "untitled". Is there a way around this?? Any advice would be awesome.

Hello Homegrown,

This error is due you are applying a maxwell material with a texture to an object that has not texture data, you can fix it easily just creating texture coordinates to the object (using the texture map tool of formZ)

By the way the development of Maxwell plugin for formZ v6.0 is running fine

Regards,

But I have to modify texture (tiling, etc.) in the material editor - I can't do this in FormZ correct?? What if I want to use the same material but apply it to different objects that may require different tiling, etc. Also, is there a way to preview it before I do a full render ( similar to the texture tool in Formz)?? Thanks for the quick response, very helpful forum!!
