So far so good I'd say, keep working on it. The MXM materials should import into Maxwell with no problem if you’re using the current release. The only thing you might need to do is remap some of the bitmaps that come with the MXM's. What specifically are you having trouble with?

sir, i hav tried to import the mxm files that i hav downloaded into the 3dsmax materials database but after importion , and applying them to the objects , they are not working, i mean the materials database is firstly showing no preview ow of the materials and if i am trying to edit the materials from the mxm editor i am getting confused where to link up the image files

 

if u wud kindly explain how do i bring them active then i will be very thankful to u sir

The MXM's that you download from the Maxwell web site usually have maps associated with them so where ever you save them to you will need to re-path these maps. This is done the same way you would re-path any map in 3D Studio.
