Maxwell Render | Official public forum

hi all,

we are changing our native app from cinema 4d to 3d max,
and the first thing i had using maxwell (the new plugin) was this error message within max :



can anyone explain me what i am doing wrong ?

please help !!!

Did you change the defaultpreview.mxs scene file from the default that is shipped with Maxwell?

I've sent you a PM with a plug-in build that outputs more information. Please tell us what you get out of it. Don't use that build in production, it hasn't been tested thoroughly; just use it to see what error message it prints. We'll see what to do from there.

Thanks,
Mihnea

that´s it...

i changed my defaultpreview scene to the scene provided by the mxm gallery.

why doesn´t it work with that one ?

There's a bug in the plug-in SDK right now and it fails when trying to use some preview scenes. Until we get it sorted out you'll need to use the original defaultpreview.mxs file for the plug-in to render previews properly. Sorry for the inconvenience.

thanks a lot, mihnea !

i changed it back, and it works properly...
