i have a little problem!

i work with archicad 11 in os x and with 3ds max in windos xp! but when i´m doing images in 3ds max i can´t work with archicad in windows because it doesn´t let me install in it!

Can you tell me how can i save a msx file in windows and run it in osx directly from maxwell!

I have tried studio but the objects change palce and rotate

Please can you help me?

There are 2 ways to save as MXS.

1. File->Export and choose "Maxwell Scene File" as a Save as Type.
2. F10->Renderer tab->check MXS output and provide a path and hit render.

Rendering can be achieved using MXCL directly.

i have tried throw MXCL but tells me that it is an invalid mxs file

[Luis Abreu]

i have saved the file and i don´t have problems is this part but i can´t opens the file throw MXCL

[Bogdan Coroi]

Can you open the file with OSX version of Studio? If you hit render from Studio, MXCL tells you that mxs is invalid?

[Luis Abreu]

i don´t want to opens from studio because the objects change place and rotate maybe because i used instance in them!

I would like to open directly the mxs file, only with the viewer from maxwell

[Bogdan Coroi]

I know you want to avoid Studio, you said that in the first post, but I want to know if Studio is able to open the MXS file and to start MXCL from there. I want to find out why MXCL is unable to open the file.

i can now run from windows from the command run...i type MXCL -d and then i opens the file.mxs and hit render...

the thing we said to me...file > export scene it works


but how can i run in osx

in os x it don´t have the execute mode like in windows!

[Luis Abreu]

i´m running now from os x but i have another problem, the objects i used in max copying with instace don´t appear in os x in the final render


CAN YOU HELP ME?

i have done what you said and the geometry show up, but can´t i use instance from 3dsmax in maxwell render (os x)????

[Bogdan Coroi]

As long as your scene renders OK you don't have to uncheck "Use instancing". If it renders in a funny way, it means the scene contains some modifiers that are used with instanced geometry, and in that case you have to uncheck "Use instancing".

[Luis Abreu]

I had to uncheck "use instancing"....uncheck this mean i am not using instance in osx?????
