Maxwell Render | Official public forum

I do use the latest C4D 1.8.1.5 plugin, C4D R11, MR 1.7.1 all on WinXP64.

I wanted to use one JPG file as a background channel, "Physical sky" for all other channels. I set up like this.

But there is still "Physical sky" background in a render. I have checked in Studio - there is correct path to file but the "Disable" switch is on. There is no switch like this in the plugin. Is it a bug or not functional/implemented yet or do I use it wrong?

They're disabled because Maxwell does not support JPG for image-based lighting - you can use MXCL to convert your JPG to MXI.

You are right JDHill. I have forgotten... Thank you.
