Is there an error message when you click Render? You say everything is updated - can you please confirm exactly which versions (of C4D, Maxwell, and the Maxwell plugin) you are using?

Thanks...

Also: If you click render in the last plugin (cinemaxwell 1. Cinema is exporting to maxwell and counting the objects in the status bar. (Standard is the lower rim of the cinema screen.)

When this is finished there is a confirmation "Exported MXS to: ...." (your output path) and Maxwell should come up and start rendering.

Is this confirmation appearing with you?

[alexh]

There is no error message. The job of exporting the scene in Mxs works fine. But in the previous version when I hit R and after the export to mxs the Maxwell render Window launch and the job started. Today nothing happend.
I try with C4D 10.5 and C4d 11.
My curent C4D version plug is: 1.8 and Mxcl is 1.7
The maxwell app is not in the Maxon directory it is in the nexlimit directory.
The mac system is 10.5.5.

thanks

When you try to render, is any other info printed in Cinema's Console window? I doubt it...anyway, if the plugin could not find Maxwell Render, it should pop up an error dialog. Possibly, you have multiple versions of Maxwell - check your Trash and your Applications to make sure there is only one copy of Maxwell on the machine.

I compress the 64 version to move every mxcl off my computer. I had a copy of my hard drive on an other one. Copy cloner. I shut it down. Nothing append. Always nothing append after pushing the render button.
I Remove the maxwell folder out from the nextlimit folder. than I get the message " Maxwell render was not foud in the M. directory."
So the c4D plug knows the mxcl is at the right place, but the c4d plug can't launch the app.

[JDHill]

Is the plugin also unable to launch Maxwell Studio if you use the plugin's 'Export to MXST' command? Also, can you please try doing this:

1. launch mxcl as normal
2. open Activiy Monitor
3. find and select the mxcl process
4. click the Inspect button
5. in the window that appears, select the 'Open Files and Ports' tab
6. copy/paste the top twenty lines of the report here

I just want to confirm where the mxcl that OSX knows about is located.

[alexh]

I understand what you want but when my Mxcl is open I can't find the Activity monitor. I you want to say the console, I can't find the inspect button??!!

I tried to launch the Mxstudio from c4d nothing append too..
I tried like usually to launch 2 or 3 mxs in the same time... it's not possible too.

[JDHill]

Sorry, I mean to open OSX Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app) while mxcl is running, you should find the button there to inspect the process (it is Inspect on english OS).

Thanks for posting the info, I will have to ask some other people and see what they think, because I don't yet see any reason for the problem.

[jvanmetre]

It's not the same thing but I've had issues with trying to render from Studio in OSX -- when I tried to render, nothing would happen...fixing disk permissions did the trick.

jvm

[JDHill]

Thanks for the input Jim, that sounds like a possibility - the plugin would be complaining pretty loudly if it was not able to find mxcl, and we've already proved that it is being found, so it seems apparent that the problem is happening somewhere down in the OS. I am waiting for more input, but the OSX guru is away from the office today.

Have you tried to doubleclick the generated mxs file? Perhaps you should define what application to open the file with.

[alexh]

Yes I did.
