When can we expect the Maxwell plugin version for AC17?

[Rafal SLEK]

Yes. It is very important question.

It would be nice to have a plugin for AC17 as soon as it gets out... I agree!

Wow Awesome.

I see that some changes were made with mxs referenced files.
Recently I've noticed that mxs reference is not taken into account when animation is rendered. Only first frame works then. On next frames mxs are not visible.
I've check it now in 17 plugin and it doesn't work also (or I am doing something wrong).

Hello Rafal,

What you can do now:
open the plugin preferences window and on the "Export" tab search for "Use first frame as Reference MXS". Set it to OFF. The exported files will be bigger but it should work.

Thx for this help.

[kropop]

Wow! Thank you!
... but cutting planes are really buggy with maxwell.

[Marton Day8]

What do you mean by buggy?

[Rafal SLEK]

MacOs plugin version works quite good with Cutting planes. I've made some tests on my current work (rather small one).
I'll check this new feature on bigger project later.

... using cutting planes the fire doesn't start and i'm getting an error like: "the wall (number) is not an emitter but it has..."- the rest of the message is not displayed.

i'm using german version of archicad and OSX 10.7.

It seems you have models with mixed emitter and non-emitter materials. It is strange because it should be handled automatically.

Could you send me a simple sample scene?

I've sent you a pm with the link.

[Marton Day8]

Thanks for the file.

It seems many of your materials have not black emission color (AC material setting). In automatic material conversion mode if emission color is not black, the plugin add emitter component to the exported material. It is probably not your desire (and not a good solution from Maxwell viewpoint, it can slow down the computation), so you can simply set those emitter colors to full black and it will work fine. Or was it intentional?
