I downloaded the right zip file for Win XP, I checked twice, yet the zip archive is full of Mac resource files and folders. Ignoring those I unzip the Maxwell folder into my plugins folder but I can't get the "res" folder to unzip, I get an error.

As expected, the plug does not show up. I can see Maxwell loading during the launch of C4D but it does not show in my pull down list once in the program.

Anybody on the Win platform have any luck? (Have a Mac at home and can't wait to get home tonight and try it, he he.)

NL, can we get a proper installer like the 3DS Max one? I installed it for a user in our office that is on Max and it was great, it found the two versions that were installed and gave me a choice of the one I wanted it, and installed all by itself, very elegant. If all that needs to happen is for files to go in certain folders this should be easy for C4D too.

Thanks,

What to say? Problem should be on you side, i think. I had no problems. Just unzipped Maxwell folder into C4D plugin folder. Raelly easy to me...

I get a similar issue - I think there is something strange about that zip file.

To work around it I right click on the downloaded zip and select "Extract All" from the pop up menu and then use the extract wizard. I think you then have to extract the correct file for v9.6 or v10 from either "maxwell.r9.6.dylib.zip" or "maxwell.r10.dylib.zip". I then copy the extracted Maxwell folder to my plugins folder of Cinema.

Of course there are no instructions on what to do !

I have other issues in that nothing is rendering yet but at least I think I have the plug in installed.

OK, got it working, thanks.

For some reason when I move the Maxwell folder and let WinXP extract as usual it gave that error. By extracting manually with WinRAR I got them all out fine and it is up and running.
