pylon Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hi Andre, Maxwell Plugin 3.2.0.4 is only compatible with the latest version of Maxwell Render Suite 3.2. Please download and install that version, then try again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Conlledo Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 I can't make preview work on Maxwell Render version 2.0.0 -- Please help me fix this!I meant 3.2.0 Maxwell fire works fine. It's the preview window within Maxwell Render what's not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 It's the preview window within Maxwell Render what's not working. Not sure what you are referring to... can you post a screen capture to identify it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archimedialab Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I have the same problem,... the preview window in Maxwell used to work, but stopped working quite a while ago,.. all i get is an empty window and a refresh button that seems be be deactivated. It has been like that through several new installs, several version and new updates, and several new plugins. and it does not matter where it is positioned: as a separate window or docked, small or big, nothing seems to be able to activate it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew West Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I stopped using the Maxwell preview window a couple of months ago. If I accidentally hit the preview the program immediately locks up (spinning wheel of death) and I loose all my work. This has been an issue for a couple of installs now. Just go back to the Renderzone preview and all is well. On another issue I still find that if I transfer a project between workstations all works fine. However, if I add any additional texture maps to the project and then go to Maxwell Studio the program can not find or load those texture maps unless they ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE PROJECT FOLDER. Not sure why they have to all be moved to that location but it is a hassel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi All, Thanks for the screen capture, that helped. To use the small preview window in Maxwell Render, disable the 'Fast Multilight Preview' option in Maxwell Preferences.

Maxwell_Render_Preferences.png More information on the Fast Multilight Preview option: http://support.nextlimit.com/display/mxdocsv3/Fast+Multilight+Preview I just started using Maxwell again on a new project and I am having the same issue yet again. If I hit the preview tab in my material palette the program hangs up and then I have to force quit and loose all my work. I started up Maxwell Render and the Fast Multilight Preview window was disabled. I also looked everywhere within the Form.z program to see if there are any settings there that might relate to this and I can't find anything. This is an issue I have had on every project this year. I find that if I just don't ever preview a Maxwell material the program works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
