Version 3.0.34

• assistant materials retaui their name when converted to layered materials
• added the Hair appearance for the material assistant
• the plug-in no longer reserves a license when Max starts. The license is acquired when exporting or rendering for the first time.
• fixed: wrong UVs when importing a mesh with multiple UV sets from a MXS file
• fixed: the flip flags on the global normal map of the Maxwell material were not exported correctly
• fixed: wrong Nd for the the ghost BSDF component created for MxLights
• fixed: the Maxwell object properties rollup for MxLight objects was truncated
• fixed: area light rectangles created by MxLight objects were twice as big as they should have been
• fixed: emitter textures (HDR and projected image) were not copied by Pack'n'Go

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.0.35

• added the maxwellGetCorrelatedColor() MAXScript function
• fixed: maxwell MAXScript functions didn't work anymore

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.1.4

• added support for multiple selection in the light linking UI
• added support for per-material custom alphas
• decreased the time needed to open the object properties dialog on scenes with many referenced materials
• fixed: the "use global settings" texture parameter was not set correctly when importing a MXM file
• fixed: constant density volumetric objects were not exported correctly
• fixed: floating reflections/shadows were not working when rendering in draft mode
• fixed: visibility flags were not exported correctly for Max instances
• fixed: incorrect names exported for Max instances, causing blocked emitters to break if they were instanced (among other things)

Version 3.1.5

• the environment intensity multiplier is exported to Maxwell so that the value correctly appears in the multilight panel
• renamed default item in the FIRE window camera menu to make its purpose clearer
• the material displacement component is exported even when it is disabled, so that it does not disappear when editing a material with MXED
• fixed: the density parameter for the scatter modifier did not allow decimals
• fixed: wrong file names for custom alpha channels
• fixed: crash in Max 2012 when changing a viewport to ActiveShade
• fixed: crash in some cases when closing the object properties dialog when Maxwell is not the active renderer
• fixed: viewport slowdown when using many MxLights set to correlated color emission
• fixed: the range of the emitter correlated color and coating thickness parameters did not match Studio

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.1.6

• added support for extra sampling
• updated the range of the devignetting parameter to match Studio
• added MAXScript functions for manipulating visibility flags: maxwellGetObjectFlag and maxwellSetObjectFlag
• added support for UDIM (tiled textures)
• the MXS extension is always appended to the name of the output scene files, even when they already contain a dot in their names
• added a frame offset parameter for the volumetric object
• fixed: clicking the "hide to camera in shadow pass" checkbox could set it to an indeterminate state (checked but grayed out)

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.1.7

• fixed: crash on export when the Maxwell extensions cannot be loaded
• fixed: the animation setting in the export MXS dialog and maxwellExportMXS command was not taken into account
• renamed the "appendFrameNrToImg" flag for the maxwellExportMXS command to "appendFrameNr", because it also affects the output MXS file name, not just the image files

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.1.8

• if the time output mode is set to single, Export MXS writes a single frame even if animation is requested
• pack'n'go resolves missing file paths in the same way the renderer does, before attempting to copy the files
• the exporter looks for missing IOR files and MXM files in the same way it does for textures
• fixed: pack'n'go crashed with some types of materials
• fixed: the hue adjustment parameter was inverted in the bitmap preview window

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.1.9

• added support for Max 2016

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.2.1

• exposed the nested priority material attribute
• added the new 3.2 attributes to the grass and scatter modifiers and updated the default values of all the attributes to match Studio
• it is now possible to drag and drop textures in the map buttons in the scatter and grass modifiers
• fixed: crashes related to the scatter modifier
• fixed: the map buttons in the grass and scatter modifiers did not update after a new texture was applied

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.2.2

• added support for the new render layer combinations
• added support for the new reflectancy channel
• added support for PSD output
• fixed: the state of the enable, format and depth controls for the UV channel was not updated correctly
• fixed: tab navigation between the controls in the scatter UI was broken
• built for compatibility with Maxwell 3.1.99.11

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.2.3

• fixed: wrong position for HairFarm hair
• rebuilt for compatibility with Maxwell 3.2.0

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.2.4

• fixed: crash when trying to render hairfarm with deformation motion blur
• fixed: wrong hair positions with deformation motion blur in HairFX

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.2.5

• fixed: slow voxelization in FIRE
• fixed: crash when exporting a PFlow system which instances groups

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.2.6

• rebuilt with the latest SDK for compatibility with Maxwell 3.2.1.1

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.2.7

• Added support for Max 2017

[Mihnea Balta]

Version 3.2.8

• depth, format and suffix can be accessed from MAXScript for all the render channels.
• fixed: the format and depth controls for the render channels were not enabled correctly when the render settings window was opened.
