Marton,

I have noticed that when ever I import a mesh item into a project that have uvs assigned to them it looses the connection to the uv map. If you try to launch maxwell to render it will crash modo. Only after reassigning the uv to the proper uv map will maxwell render. The lost connection between the uvp map seems like thats a luxology issue and not a maxwell issue, but the crash might be the plugin? Just wanted to let you know. Thanks Gadzooks

Ok, thank you I will check it. You are right it is probably a modo bug what the plugin doesn't handle well.

Marton,

Good morning and happy new year!
Sorry to get back with you so late with this but the patch has not fixed the problem. It seems that whenever I import geometry that has a Maxwell material assigned to it and that has uv's associated with it that it looses connection to the uv's locator. It will also cause other Maxwell materials in the current scene to loose connection to their uv's, which will cause modo to crash if fire or a maxwell render is executed. To fix the problem I have to systematically go through each and every texture (Maxwell Texture) and make sure that the correct uv's are assigned. Also when importing geometry into a scene It will also cause an existing Maxwell material in the existing scene to get reassigned the wrong uv map to a item, which will cause a crash. I will post a scene file later you can check to see if you can replicate whats happening. Marton this is happening on every scene I create and not just one particular scene. To rule out any other stuff like corrupt config file I completely uninstalled Modo and Maxwell Suite and the plugin and did a fresh install…..No luck. I will post a scene file later to see if it occurs with you.

Hello Gadzooks,

But the imported scene items looe the uv connection even if the plugin is not running. Am I right?

In case you have a simple scene...... Here I can't reproduce the crash.
