warprat Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hello, I have been using maxwell RC 5 for the past 3 months or so. But it seems everytime I Want to render in maxwell all my maps are gone. I have been reading all the threads in maxwell forum but I just cant seem to get my head around it. What I ususally do is Tripple all poligons, make sure they all have they're appropriate shader, Make sure every surface has it's own layer, Separate my emitters and dielectrics then off to layout. In layout get the camera setup make sure everything is in place then its the maxwell plugin Send it of and voila! no maps. So what I do is I have to adjust the maps AGAIN in maxwell which is not much fun at all then only I can render, It happens with the plugin rendering just in layout too. So Is there anybody outthere who might be of assistance to this. thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devin Johnston Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I'm a Max user but if you’re using the Beta to render there is a bug where when you attach a map to one of your channels you have to go back and make sure it's active before rendering. For some reason the map becomes unchecked once it's been linked and you have to manually check it for it to work properly. This may have no relation to your situation though.

AJLynn Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Did you try posting the question in the Maxwell Lightwave forum? And read all the stickies there? There's good info in those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
