Ok, i've downloaded my copy of Maxwell. It was an adventure. And this is the first nice thing. After i've downloaded the manual, i've followed exactly the installation rules and when i launch an mxs file maxwell don't start. Also, i'm disappointed with some little additional things (for example i can't hide maxwell studio using the HIDE command on the menu or the keyboard shortcut)

Well, i'm a serious person and a serious professional and i'm really tired to believe in this "revolution". I'll made my renders with Lightwave and Carrara, as always.

Sorry

Have a nice day

strange, the 'hide' menu is working here, but the corresponding shortcut is missing, indeed.

as for your installation problems, did you have a look here:

maybe it resolves...

Thanks for the reply,

but the question is: "why there is a manual with the wrong instructions"?

I think that good people have to learn from their mistakes. It seems that we are in the same situation of the beta and the other RC versions. When i install an application (Cinema 4d, Lightwave, Carrara, Word, Firefox, simple text etc) usually it works. Maxwell is incredibly outstanding, it have a different and revolutionary approach: it don't start, you can't use it as a normal software.
