I don't use maxwell but it generally goes like this:

1. Put your sky texture in the "Environment map" slot (Rendering menu->Environment, or just type 8 to open the menu).

2. With perspective view selected as active go to "Viewport background" (alt+b).

3. Under "Background source" option check "Use environment backround option"

4. Also check "Display backgroud" checkbox in the lower right part of menu.

I suppose this should work.

Hey. Could you solve the problem? I started using 3dsmax plugin as well an couldn´t fix it. My sky appers black whatever I do. Active View (fire) works fine, but not the viewport.

 

@boris tried your way but didn´t work for me. maybe I made a mistake...

 

 

 

 

...so I got rid of the problem. You have to change the displaydriver to direct3d like on the attachment...
