Maxwell Render | Official public forum

I am attempting to use the form Z plug-in with the new RC version.

I have successfully navigated the issues with the two .fzr files in the plug-ins directory. I have also successfuly managed to load the .dat liscence information.

The issue I am currently facing is when attempting to launch a rendering from Z by pressing the 'render scene' button. I get the following message:

'windows cannot find the mxcl.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search.'


I have reproduced the problem on two machines (one operating windows 2000 and the other XP). I have checked, and the mxcl.exe file is in C:\program\Next Limit\Maxwell\mxcl.

I have attempted to reinstall the software a number of times but no luck.
Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas how it might be solved?

The problem may be with your environment path settings. Check out this thread: http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9203

I'm not sure this is a good solution, but if you displace the mxcl.exe from C:\program\Next Limit\Maxwell\mxcl
to
C:\program\Next Limit\Maxwell
(the mxcl.exe is directly under the Maxwell directory in the beta version)
so the rendering windows is launched.

But there are some difficulties after that...

I hope Juan can correct this path in Maxwellz...
I don't know a way to customize this.
May i missed something
