RunTime Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hi, All worked well on OSX 10.9.5, FormZ 8.5.4, Maxwell plug 3.2.1.4 and Maxwell 3.2.1.4 When I updated yesterday to FormZ 8.5.6 and Maxwell plug 3.2.1.6/3.2.1.4 and also to the latest Maxwell 3.2.1.5 i got problems. The Maxwell render fine any old mxs file but when running FormZ I get the tools and Fire window, but no lights. Choosing Maxwell from the meny gives 'Maxwell is not licensed...' Fire complains: 'There are no light sources in the scene...' I have re-register Maxwell and it says 'Activation successful...' Any idea of what to try to get the workflow up again?

pylon Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hi Bo, Please try restarting your computer and see if the issue persists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Also, if you opened an existing file without the plugin installed, and re saved the file, any Maxwell specific data such as a physical sky light would no longer be present in the file.

Not the case. I cant create a new (I get no lights) or use an old intact file (I get Not licensed). Though the plug IS loading as I get icon, meny and Fire window But rendering an old mxs works... The only thing that sticks out is that the plug and Maxwell is different versions (my earlier setups they always had identical version numbers, but that may be unimportant) Thanks/ Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunTime Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 OK, here is a matris fz 856 mx 310 pl 3104 OK fz 856 ->mx 3215 pl 3104 OK fz 856 mx 3215 ->pl 3214 OK fz 856 mx 3215 ->pl 3216 render gives license Q (Fire OK) So something get of the track with 'Maxwell_for_formZ8_3_2_1_6.zip' Do you have a plug 3.2.1.5 I can test?

pylon Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hi Bo, Not the case. I cant create a new (I get no lights) or use an old intact file (I get Not licensed). I do not understand what you are reporting with the lights. If you need help with this, please write up numbered steps to reproduce the issue you are experiencing.

If you need help with this, please write up numbered steps to reproduce the issue you are experiencing. OK, lets that be on my inexperienced account... It boils down to that the combo: FormZ 8.5.6 Maxwell 3.2.1.5 And plug-in 3.2.1.6 Does NOT work, license problem... But: FormZ 8.5.6 Maxwell 3.2.1.5 And plug-in 3.2.1.4 does indeed work.
