Hi guys,
I have been rendering a scene with no problems using 3dsmax plugin maxwell_max_1.0.79.
Rendering the same scene in 3dsmax using maxwell_max_1.5.3 comes up with and error (not enough vertex). I assume this is from dodgy geometry imported from archicad. Strange that it didn't happen in the previous version.
Anyone else have this problem ?

kind regards

[Maxer]

I also import archicad models into max but I haven't had that problem yet sorry.

Thanks Maxer,
I might just try merging the same scene into a new file.
It might help.

cheers

I think new plugin couldn't render correctly old scene.

I think new plugin couldn't render correctly old scene.

Well yeah thats whats happening.
I'll see how it goes for a couple of days and see if anyone else encounters the error.

cheers

Was the scene created with the 1.0.x version of the plug-in or with an even earlier version (the one that was called Maxll)? Could you share the scene so we can debug it?

[Duncan]

I'll see if I can put together a scene that creates the problem.

cheers

Hi Mihnea,
Where should I send the file ?

cheers

Well,
I tried rendering some old scenes to double check and it gets to the rendering stage then MXCL will crash. Tried it with three max files and found the same issue in all.

Hi Insomnia,
I tried a couple more files, all I get is crash after crash.

These particular files have been imported from Archicad as a 3ds to XSI.
Export from XSI to 3dsmax as an obj. I use to use XSI, thats why its in this particular work flow.

There is another bug.......

I use frequently xref scene/object and maxwell don't want to use it.

bye Cris

I don't think 3dsmax export the xreffed geometry - I've had the same problem under the old plug-in, ended up having to merge the geometry.

xref scene/object works for me but only the model not the 1.1 textures
I have not tried with 1.5 textured model yet.

[Cristiano]

I create a new scene with 1.5 material, but in the render I don't see the xref scene, never.....
