...the same error here,...and my preview is always black,...what about the preview

[kkm]

I can't understand. since the 0.7 version won't support texture but 0.6c can support with texture, why?

have the same problem here. i rendered it using the pugin 0.6c before but now it's not possible anymore due to the invalid normals thing.
I get more than 100x the same message and no mxs file to reload or render it.


After more than 20 minutes suddenly maxwell popped open and quoted mxs written sucessfully.

.yes I tried it also.my maps are working.new plugin has different tags.when I removed old tags and attached new ones, then it worked.new plugin knows also JPG extension not just jpg, and there also isn´t problem with correct texture path no more.

.i adjusted levels in photoshop, because it was too dark, but as you can see bitmaps are working.

This issue hasn't be adressed in the new plugin
I still have "INVALID NORMAL VALUE"

...the RC4 is aut , and a new cinemaxwell plug in,...let´s see what´s up,...

I encounter my first 'invalid normal' today. The problem was with a high poly' mesh imported from RealFlow3.

The message stopped happening when I used Cinema's align normal function. May not work for everyone but worth a try.

Hi Becco, I just try your solution with no effect.

[arch4d]

tried that too, no effect...

now i get even more "invalid normal value´s" than in RC3.

what the hell is that ? and why? all normals facing outwards the objects.
please fix that soon.

i had to click 262 times with a simple scene, just to know maxwell will crash.

[lllab]

i had that to with rc5 today 7c plug.

what the hell is invalid normal. the modell was built 100% in c4d.
cheers

The invalid norms problem I get doesn't seem to have an adverse effect at render time but it's very annoying having to keep clicking OK for each invalid normal message. I tried just pressing the enter key (to quickly perhaps) a few times but that locked Cinema4D.

What I find strange is that the plugin with RC5 is the same one as released in December 2005. It really is need of more work.

Hi Becco,

i think its not the same plugin.
file size of the RC4 cdl-File was 307.200 Byte
file size of the RC5 cdl-File is 303.104 Byte
They have not changed the Versionnr.

But if they changed something in the plugin, its hard to find

Best regards.
