[Q2]

Hi Guys

After installing Maxwell Studio 2.7 I am running into following problem:

When I export a scene from Rhino and open it in Maxwell Studio all is fine. Studio opens the file quick and normal. After I add just one material to the scene file and save the file and then try to reopen this file, Maxwell Studio takes forever to open the file. In fact I can NOT open this file on Mac or PC. Studio on Win 7 Pro just tries to open and then the screen gets washed out and that's it. No reaction on both OS. Can not open the file AT ALL! I am going berserk....

File size is app. 175 mb....

Any ideas?

Thanks

Could you try with adding another material, with a different texture to see if the same thing happens? Anything special about the material you added? Textures, referenced or not...where is the texture in that case, a network drive etc....

Hi Mihai

Nothing fancy about the material at all. I just click "create new material" an thats the one then! No textures or anything. Just the default material. i tried other with textures too, same result!

Funny thing is also that Studio on both OS doesn't show the open dialogue window. Just the beach ball and that's it!

Tried this: Opened Studio. loaded the cornell scene, then added my file. All fine. Render works BUT after i save the file, BANG can NOT open it again!

I'm not sure if this has any bearing on the issue here, but I'm experiencing issues too. When I open scenes I created in the previous version I get the following behaviours:

Some objects are no longer visible in the C4D viewport.
C4D crashes if I try to preview my render in Fire.
Maxwell crashes if I try to render the scene.

The textures were downloaded from the Maxwell Resources site. Disabling displacement in the materials resolved it.

Q2, could you please send me that file? Is it possible to simplify it as much as possible while keeping the problem?

Hi Mihai

I think I found the problem! One part of my model was not a closed mesh. Somehow Studio opened it but could not save it correctly or had issues with it which prevented a reopening.

Sadly I can not send the file cause of legal issues.

Thanks for the help though!!!!!!!

Cheers
