The maps are ither blank or wierd. I've remapped a couple of times. Also even thought the d/l site says it's updates the Max plugin still says 1.2.1. Does anone elses nw plugin say that?

[pluMmet]

several test later and the mapping is very messed up

[pluMmet]

Is anyone else having this problem in Max?

Just verify that your checkboxes in the material editor are on, they auto check off the first time you assign or create a material, Thats a known issue.

I'm experiencing the same issues Eric.

it works just fine here. as animated says, have you checked that your maps are activated?

[jeffpatton]

Well, I unchecked the color & bump maps (turned them off) and then back on and now it works. Which is odd since I had to enable them to begin with...I know they were turned on.

[rivoli]

were you rendering an old scene jeff? all this checking maps stuff is here since the first beta came out, i had the same problem as you (checking, unchecking and then enabling them again) while re rendering already mapped old scenes.

[jeffpatton]

Nope. I simply started max and created a sphere & maxwell camera. Then applied a spherical UVW map to the sphere. I then created a Maxwell diffuse material and enabled the sun/sky.

I rendered the scene and it rendered as expected.

I then added a .jpg to the color map, and a .jpg to the bump map. I enabled both checkboxes for the maps. Then rendered again and while the color of the sphere changed, the map did not display.

I then unchecked the color & bump maps...and rendered. The sphere was grey again.

I then checked (enabled) the color & bump maps and it rendered properly.

Yes, that was it Doh!
