Hi, do someone know when to expect the updated Nuke plugin?
I have nuke for 2.7, but after updating Maxwell to 2.7.10, Nuke is giving me errors when reading mxi files.
"Reader did not set bounding box" - guess this is just because of the newer Maxell version.

Thanks,
Tor Martin

I've just upload a 2.7.10.0 version of Nuke plug-in to the beta's webpage.

It will be available from the regular download area at the customer gateway as soon as possible

Thank you Brany,

Not sure what the beta´s webpage is, but I´ll download it from the customer gateway when it is public.

Any updates on the progress? Still the 2.7.00 plugin at customer gateway.

Thanks,
Tor Martin

It will be available tomorrow (tuesday) in the morning.

Thank you Brany for posting

..still no nuke 2.7.10 plugin at the customer gateway.

Is there any other way to get a hold of it for Mac?

I've just checked it and the 2.7.10.0 version is available at the customer gateway. Can you reload the webpage and try again?

Perfect, I see it now. Was just put off by the date (18jun12), but I saw it was the correct file after pressing download.

Thanks,

Hi again Abraham,
I downloaded the new nuke plugin, but I still get the same error message "Reader did not set the bounding box"

I manually installed it, a fresh install. Went over the menu.py and init.py. Looks normal.
The plugin loads as usual.

Hope you have some tips

You can open 2.7.0 MXIs with the new plug-in?

In that case, can you tell me what do you get when you attach a ViewMetaData node to the MXI node? (VERSION_PLUGIN and VERSION_SDK).

In case you get 2.7.10.0, please send me a MXI that gets that error.

[Kevron]

I find this a bit odd, but it seem that I only can open mxi files that was rendered with Maxwell 1.6. (If "version_mxi" means what I think it means)

Here is a link to a file that will not open: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1059954/Maxwel ... 01.mxi.zip

The view metadata node gives me:
2.7.10.0 both in _plugin and _sdk.

Thanks for looking into it,

Tor M

VERSION_MXI is an internal version for the MXI file format. Maxwell 2.6.0.0 creates 1.6 MXI files. Maxwell 2.7.0.0 and 2.7.10.0 creates 1.62 MXI files.

The problem here is that your MXI have a "Sun", a "Physical Sky" and a "Image Based Lighting" emitters. It can't be possible! How do you create this?

[Kevron]

I am away from the computer now, but I will post the environment setting tomorrow morning.
Not sure if I remember correctly what my setup was, but I think it was lit with sun and physical sun, and in refract/reflect there is a HDR.

I will doublecheck the setup tomorrow!

Hi Abraham, here is a picture of my scene setup in C4d.

The best thing about this is that I can separate the render in post into two pass, an image with only sun and physical sky and an image with only the reflection.

So, what do you think
