Workflow question -- Rhino to MW on OSX

I think there are few people with a workflow from Rhino to MW on OSX...haven't purchased the upgrade yet...are you able to export using pack and go from the Rhino/MW plugin and open in Studio and render on your OSX machine?
Thanks,
JVM

this works fine if you don't use any complicated sybols in your filenames like öäüèéà ...
but why switch to os x if you could render directly on windows?

Work in Rhino on "older" machine for modeling purposes and export to much faster Macpro. It's kinda like separation of church and state.

hehe. not a bad concept
the pack and go thing worked fine for me (with 1.7) with the named restrictions.

Hi Jim - the 2.x plugin has a new pack and go function that works more simply than older plugins. What it does is:
- copies all referenced files into a /textures folder next to the target mxs
- alters all paths in the mxs to point to the newly-copied textures, using relative paths
So, the mxs has no relationship to the machine on which it was generated; when you render this mxs in maxwell, it should find all the files automatically no matter what machine the file has been moved to.
