I've tried to install the plugin a couple of times... I run the .exe and LW doesn't recognize it. Is just running this supposed to install it correctly? Secondly, there is an lscript that I've been using to invoke MR. This doesn't work either... what am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I got 1.5.8 plugin installed. When I open an old scene it says "Plug-in Missing" No plugin of type MasterHandler found with name "Maxwell_Render. Would you like to load it from disk?" Any suggestions?

Mike,
The new 1.58 plugin is a whole new critter. I would take out all the old 1.1 plugs and the ls for calling up the old interface...that won't work anymore.
After running the installer, go to Layout, Interface, Edit Menu Layout, and add the plugins to somewhere on your tool bar. I put them under the Items tab. They will appear in this order below under the Presets tab, MW Render Opts, Maxwell Render, Maxwell Properties, MW Plugin Opts, and Maxwell export.
Those are your new access tabs and they get you to all the setup choices you used to have under the old 1.1 options window...

You need to assign the new plugin to the materials again...

Personally I like 1.58 much better than 1.1, it's way more elegant and is really powerful...hope that helps.

Cheers, Ron

Hi guys,

Thanks very much for the help... I would up doing exactly as said; ignoring the errors and re-assigning materials... looks like it's working now. I was immediatley impressed that that overall things seem more responsive... thanks again for the help.
