Maya Maxwell Problem

[Oluap84]

Hello everyone,

 

This may be a noob question but I´ve just got Maxwell Render 1.7 and I have installed the plugin for maya but everytime I apply a maxwell material on maya every object the material is applied appears green... or if I turn the visibility to be hardware textured the object turns completely black. Although when I render the image everything appears correctly... Any clue of what may be causing this??

 

Please help me...

Not the best test for your problem... but I did a quick double check with Maxwell materials in Max. The bitmaps are not showing up, I'm getting only the basic diffuse color. Maps from Max materials are showing up so it's not something broken in my bitmaps or stupid in my viewport settings.

 

I seem to recall that a version or three ago of the Maxwell pluging for Max was not this good. No material preview in material editor.. all sorts of fail. ;-) I think it was just they were tired of sitting on the product and wanted to show it off when it got to "usable". (and I think it made them first non-biased out the door)(and they probably got some revenue).

 

Go with "plug-in just not sophisticated enough yet" unless somebody else chimes in "works great in Maya for me".
