What happens when you launch mxcl alone without manager etc and then load the scene by pointing it from your mount?



If I launch startmxcl in terminal and write:

-mxs: /nova/data/Workspace/Workspace_Maxwell/upload_sample_scene/StandardMatScene_06-29/standardmattest_06_29_speedopt.mxs

The terminal just dissapears

Very similar with my lineup. I've meant launching mcxl (not a server) from Ubuntu desktop and trying to load the scene from there using the mount point.

Do you mean MXCL or MXST now?

I can open MXST with the startmxst script, and I can open the MXS file from my mount. Of course it cant find the textures... (searcing for textures at y:\xxx) but after I chose "no to all" it crashes

If I just launch the startmxcl script and choose RUN nothin happends at all..
I can only "run in terminal"

I mean opening from mxcl GUI using Load MXS. Open the script and add -d to mxcl parameters. It was something missing on our side, sorry.

Then you have to explain how I do this, since I have no clue? :)
In Windows I have Maxwell Render.. is that what you call MXCL GUI?

If so I havnt managed to start the MXCL GUI in ubunty at all..

I have 3 scripts that I can run in my Maxwell64 catalog:

startmxcl
startmxclng
startmxst

if I klick startmxst and choose RUN it fires up Maxwell Studio.
If I klick startmxcl and choose RUN, nothing happends at all :(
though if I choose run in terminal I get the maxwell render terminal with all available commands.

All my script says is:

/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`dirname $0`
export MAXWELL_ROOT=`dirname $0`
$MAXWELL_ROOT/mxcl $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 ${10} ${11} ${12} ${13} ${14} ${15} ${16} ${17}

I hope I understodd correct now :)

I did a new launcher with the command:

/opt/maxwell64-1.6/startmxcl -d

and that starts Maxwell Render :D

File / Open MXS

Browsing to /nova/data..... ect

It seems to load the MXS file successfully..
If I look in the console it says:

I cant launch the render though, pretty obvious since I havnt updated my searchpath correctly for materials and textures.

Here, what I'm doing is :)

#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`dirname $0`
export MAXWELL_ROOT=`dirname $0`
$MAXWELL_ROOT/mxcl -d -p:low $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 ${10} ${11} ${12} ${13} ${14} ${15} ${16} ${17}

This way I created other launchers for server and manager, too.
Somehow more intuitive for me :lol:

But if I in maxwell Render set the Bitmaps path to:

/nova/data/Workspace/Workspace_Maxwell/materials_database/textures/

it renders fine

OK, so the problem occurs when you sent through by using Add Job. Hmm...
Can you send Add Job screenshot?

OK so you got multiply scripts, and I've got multiply launchers? :)

Here you go!

The top left window is remote desktop to the Ubuntu server

After OK, the mxcl on the ubuntu server says:

Did a quick test...

Opened the speed opt file in MXST on my workstation, changed all the searchpaths in properties to the //nova/data/Workspace...... and so on

Saved the file and tryed to start the render on the linux machine from MCXL GUI, without choosing bitmap searchpath..

Then I got this:

ERROR: - File "//Nova/Data/Workspace/Workspace_Maxwell/materials_database/textures/HardBrushed.jpg" has not been found. Render cannot continue.

ERROR: - Render Failed

So its pretty clear that everytime when I specify a searchpath with my windoes machine the linux machine reads it wrong...
