Maxwell release RC2 crashes every time i close the box where you change the color of the coating layer. I tested this on various simple and complex scenes and it's a reproductable bug.

me too

try to save material first -> add coating -> save material -> modify color

did work for me


.... but it's a bug

Can you tell the steps Max? I can't replicate it, works here.

[Maximus3D]

Sure thing

1. Create a default material for your object.
2. Add a coating layer.
3. Click to change the reflectance color value (under IOR in the coating material, in that little grey box.
4. Pick a color.
5. Click on the X in the corner to close the colorselection box and then it instantly shutsdown Maxwell Studio.

This happens all the time, shouldn't be difficult to replicate Tom.

Yes, this was what I exactly played back but works for me.
Please, can someone else try these steps?

[Maximus3D]

What the... so you cannot get it to crash :/ that sucks. I hope you're using the same RC as we are

I'll replicate this issue again once i get home in about 2 hours to see if the same thing happens at home. I'll keep you posted.

same for me. did just the test another time now. had to do this several times yesterday night .

max, did you try this ?

try to save material first -> add coating -> save material -> modify color

did work for me Wink


.... but it's a bug Very Happy

oups did it now again, does seem to crash.... well, but then i tried:

create material
create coating
modify color of bsdf
modify color of coating

didn't crash

[Maximus3D]

Nope i haven't tested that method yet, but you shouldn't have to take the step of saving the shader first before you edit it so anyways it's still a bug since it crashes if you do it the normal way. But i'll try the other method once i get home soon.

[Olivier Cugniet]

for sure, Max, it's a bug

Well, I simply do NO additional things. Let's keep it simple...

1- create material
2- create coating
3- click reflectance color of the coating (picker pop-ups)
4- select color from picker
5- close pop-up from corner (X)
No crash here...
I tried above steps thousand times but no crash.
