Just wondering when we can expect this since it's the main thing I'm waiting for to upgrade.

Sorry about the late answer. A version of the plug-in which supports 2009 is being tested and it will be released shortly if it works OK.

They mentioned in another topic that they would release the plug-in this week if they didn't find any issues with it.

I guess they did find issues, since it is already night over there in Spain.

I had sent two files this week that had problems with the 2008 plug-in (one was crashing with simple decals and the other was corrupting of texture on export). They are probably fixing these problems.

the Maxwell 2008 plug-in doesn't work with Maya 2009. We're waiting for a plug-in update so we can use the new version of Maya, which has some good new features.

just got prompted for the updated when I launched Maya 2008 and downloaded. Installed fine and renders fine from Maya 2009. Thanks!

I am having some problems with Maxwell and Maya 2009 (OS X Mac Pro Intel):

- textures aren't refreshing. I replaced a wood texture on some geometry and while it renders okay and the Attribute Editor shows the right texture, the viewport still shows the old texture.
- some textures aren't showing up properly. I set the hardware texture of this file to the RGB image at the right but it shows up completely different in the viewport:

And then there's the old problem of the top part of the mxm Attribute panel gradually expanding and expanding to the point where it's a lot of empty space:
