Hi

I try to put a MXI image in a Emitter Materiel to lighting my scene, but always I try to upload the MXI image in the mxi map channel, maya say :

"Warning: Failed to open texture file...."

Any people have a solution or have an other technic to light with mxi file in maya ?

I use maxwell version : 1_2_2_beta
and mayall version : 0.9.1 (beta)

thanks for answers...

if you find any solution... say me....

In Max you can't load a .mxi into the emitter thru bitmap. There is a special mxi loader that I didn't see.

in maya I don't find the solution....

yes, this is Normal, your mxi will render anyway, as a maya user sometimes its best to ignore the maya warning msgs, this just means it cant open the file in maya, but when the mxi is IN the MXI emmiter channel, even thought maya gives you error, upon maxwell render it will render the mxi just fine. (if your using a mxi dome sphere approch remeber to reverse your normals so they point INTo the sphere)

-ps Always try to render wheter you get error or not, you'll be suprisred how many time things are ok
-pssss- when asking questions like this try to at least post a SCREEN shot of your maya's attribute editor, and post a Attempted render,
always follow throught dont get distracted, disapointed, and dont panic!

if your still cant render mxi, post maya screen shots of your emmiter attributes, pls post maya file too if you have further troyubles.

happy maxwelling!
