I have a problem with the FormZ plugin. When I try to render it goes to 100% right away, and than it says error becase there are material textures not to be found. I have rendered from FormZ and also tried to go through Maxwell Studio but it want work. It works if I only uses one material, but not if I use two or more.

You need to apply a texture map to your object, using the "Texture Map" tool in Formz (looks like a brick wall), and then apply a maxwell material using the Query Attributes tool. I've run into your problem before as well. Maybe another, more experienced user can reply, but, I can never seem to adjust the texture scale correctly in FormZ. For example, if I apply an arroway wood floor mxm to a floor, there is no way for me to know how its going to turn out after rendering (no preview like in Z.)
