Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hi,

I just got my lovely Mac Pro and am trying to get the Maxwell plugin to work with XSI 6.5 under XP Pro x64. When I install the plugin, shut down XSI and re-start I get the following error in the script editor immediately (even before I've done anything);

' ERROR : 2356 - This plug-in is not installed: MaxwellPluginOptions

and none of the Maxwell options (Maxwell as a render option, Maxwell materials, etc) are available (which, I guess is what this error means!)

Does this mean that the current plugin doesn't work? and if so when do you expect an update to appear?

I'd really love to get this working as the render speeds are amazing (as you can see from Benchwell!)

Does anyone have any ideas about this one?

There's a little red trianlge next to the maxwell dll file in the XSI plugin manager and it says 'unspecified error' (doesn't really help much!)

I was wondering whether there is a problem registering the dll?

Has anyone else got the plugin working in Win XP Pro x64 wth XSI 6.5.

P.S. I downgraded to the previous version of XSI 6.02 and still have the same problem.

Please install these two packages from Microsoft:

64-bit Visual C++ redistributable

64-bit Visual C++ SP1 redistributable

The plug-in is compatible with XSI 6.5, it should load with no problems after this.

Mihnea,

you are a genius!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I've been struggling with this for over a week. It's easy when you know how!

Everything working A.OK.

Thanks again,
