Please what is MXM material ?

MXM is the materials from Studio?

We can use them under the plugin over Cinema 4D?

Some help please to understand this.

Thanks

the included Material Library files
(with the new material otpions from the studio)

they are located in : ...\Next Limit\Maxwell\materials database\mxm files\

you can save new ones from studio and load existing (or your new) ones with the Maxwell custom MXM-Tag

I assume this is an old issue and I'm far behind, but as the search function didn't give me any results, I ask you: I made one test rendering with cinemaxwell and it worked well so far - but only once. The next try (and all following ones) showed everything black except the sky. When I had just installed today's update I achieved another nice test, but only once again ...

Ah, and one more question: is there a way meanwhile to get the phong tags working?

i have tryied that "new" plugin now for 30 minutes, no results...

if me and everybody here will become 1 dollar for every minute that we spend to search for bugs or simply trying "new plugins" that dont work....

is it really so much work for u guys "NL" to install the plugin on your mac and try it before uploading it? i guess so...

I already had a scene in progress so didn't chance using the actual mxm function of the revised plugin, but on my PC it still writes the mxs file ok (within known limitations) and fires up the render engine as expected.
