Maxwell Render

Hi,

I would like to try cooperative rendering using the plugin. I need to make a manual coop since my two machines are not networked - one is an office pc and the other my home pc. It is my understanding that I need to add the -idcpu command line flag for this to work. My question is how do I run mxcl with a command line flag using the plugin? Is it possible?

Thanks.

You cannot run mxcl manually from the plugin but the steps are still fairly easy. You should do this:
- Open export dialog from SketchUp
- Go to options and uncheck "Render in Maxwell after export"
- Export

You've ended up with .skp file in the folder which you've specified.
You can close SketchUp now...

Open Windows Command prompt
change directory to folder where .mxs file is located
type: "mxcl -mxs:test.mxs" (without the quotes - assuming your file is test.mxs)
Maxwell starts to render.

You can of course add additional parameters (e.g. for cooperative rendering) on the command line.

Hope this helps.
