Hi Everyone,
I bought Maxwell in the Alpha-stage, did some pleasing testrenders on PC using Lightwave, and followed some threads on the forum when I had the time.
Now I switched to Mac.
What I use:
- iMac 24" / 2.33 GHz Intel Core2Duo / 2Gb RAM / NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
- Modo 202 for modeling
- Lightwave 9 for scene setup and/or model checking before going to Maxwell
- Maxwell 1.1 UB version for rendering (I hope)
Problematic workflow example:
- Model something simple in Modo (not even SubD - but multiple layers)
- Export as LWO
- Check it in LW Modeler and 'triple' it.
- Import in 'mxstudio' and... NOTHING!!! "0 objects in scene"
If I try to save an 'mxs'-scene from within Lightwave I always get errors; although I tripled every polygon and checked for 1-point polygons...
I've tried exporting from Lightwave as DXF too. I only get 1 layer from the LWO, and that one is OK.
If I export from Modo as "Wavefront OBJ", I get 'some' geometry but very messy and nothing like the original.
Now that I've got this great Mac, I really want to start using Maxwell 1.1 UB and all this is really disappointing. Please Help!
Thanks a lot in advance...
