Maxwell Render

It embarrasses it very much.
Please advise.

Rendering cannot be done by the following messages' appearing when it tries to do rendering from the plug-in of formZ.

[The mxs file has not been written successfully. Check the geometry of the scene and the texture format. Search and read the log file maxwellz.txt in your local drive to get more info.]

The texture is not pasted, and this message appears from a free cube.
Studeo starts, and can normalize rendering.

could you post your scene ?
this is the easiest way to help you out.

It is not to the post the scene.
It is because rendering doesn't occur to any scene.

FormZ is started, and one cube is made.
Next, rendering cannot be done by the message's appearing when it tries to start rendering by the plug-in.

What the cause is not understood at all.

This happened to me doing an initial test of the plugin.

Then I realised that I hadn't saved the changes (after setting the maxwell parameters) to the fmz file. After this my scene rendered as expected.

Also hdr files for background etc need to be saved in the same folder as the fmz file, otherwise maxwell render will not find them.
