Hi.

The red tint in the thumbnail is probably a byte order issue, which is different between PPC and Intel Macs and we didn't take that it into account. We'll have it fixed in the next patch.

The error message "The mxEmitterHideGeom control cannot be used with the attribute "maxwellMaterial1.emitterHideGeometry" is due to a Maya bug. We've been looking for a workaround but we haven't found one yet. In our experience it doesn't show up too often and when it does it can be cured by restarting Maya. Is it persistent in your case?

The warning "renderSettingsTabLabel_melToUI: no lookup for 'Maxwell'" is another Maya bug. This was introduced in 8.5 when they added multilanguage support for the UI. Whoever coded that didn't know that you can have plug-in renderers and the code simply checks the name of the active renderer against the list of built-in renderers ("Maya Software", "Maya Hardware", "mental ray") and prints the warning if it's not there. There's nothing we can do about it, but the warning does not affect the functionality of Maya or the plug-in in any way.

ah, that is also a known issue.

since there has been a new type of .mxm since v.1.1, the «old» .mxms sometimes cause problems.

just create a new material if You get problems with a downloaded ones. well, there's no way to see if a .mxm works or not, else than trying it as You do...

i hope we see some of Your work in the galleries soon !
