Hi,
has anybody successfully rendered anything out of Maya 2008 with the latest Maxwell plugin on a new Mac Pro with Nehalem 8 core CPU? When I use MXStudio everything renders fine but when I render out of Maya 2008 the renderer "pretends" to render but it just takes a couple of seconds and it says "Render finished successfully" - but it didn´t render anything. No matter which settings I use - I don´t manage to render anything out of Maya with Maxwell...
I´ve switched from Windows to Mac and this used to work on Windows. It´s the same when loading old Maya scenes I built on the Windows system. No rendering...
Here is an example protocol:
