Maxwell Render | Official public forum

I know it's a stupid question - but ever since V2 the (.)"period" key (the one on the numeric keyboard) is not working anymore, so I have to use the (,)"comma" key instead. And that's REALLY frustrating since I got used to the (.)"period" key.
So, is there some way to make it work again - I checked the preferences quickly, but didn't seem to find anything.

Thanks.

Only in Maxwell?

Yes, Maxwell Studio only.
BTW, I just checked v1.7 and it actually has periods in numeric boxes values, while v2 has commas...

Studio uses periods here, and I am able to use the number pad for period input. I have seen comma's in some screen captures of other users, but I don't know what the controlling factor is. Could it be an OS language issue?

if You paid licenses in dollars You have period

if You paid licenses in euros You have comma (european format)

this is why in euros it is much more expensive.

OK, so looks like it's an issue of Win7 keyboard settings - I'm on a new machine with Win7 and still getting used to it.
Thanks for your help, guys!

I paid for my license in Euros, so yes, you're right - I got commas for it

there are some rumors - Did You noticed ? - when You pay much more in euros than in dollars your maxwell 2.0 is faster too.
it can't be noticable with 2.1 version because there is no speed/currency ratio. it was changed to beauty/currency ratio . when You pay in euros renderings are at least 15% more beautifull.

*foolproof - joke of course

Studio takes the language settings from the System information.

So, changing the Windows keyboard settings will allow you to set the use of period instead of comma.
