Maxwell Plugin 3.19 for 3ds Max

Version 3.1.9 - June 8th 2015

• added support for Max 2016
• if the time output mode is set to single, Export MXS writes a single frame even if animation is requested
• pack'n'go resolves missing file paths in the same way the renderer does, before attempting to copy the files
• the exporter looks for missing IOR files and MXM files in the same way it does for textures
• fixed: pack'n'go crashed with some types of materials
• fixed: the hue adjustment parameter was inverted in the bitmap preview window
• fixed: crash on export when the Maxwell extensions cannot be loaded
• fixed: the animation setting in the export MXS dialog and maxwellExportMXS command was not taken into account
• renamed the "appendFrameNrToImg" flag for the maxwellExportMXS command to "appendFrameNr", because it also affects the output MXS file name, not just the image files
• added support for extra sampling
• updated the range of the devignetting parameter to match Studio
• added MAXScript functions for manipulating visibility flags: maxwellGetObjectFlag and maxwellSetObjectFlag
• added support for UDIM (tiled textures)
• the MXS extension is always appended to the name of the output scene files, even when they already contain a dot in their names
• added a frame offset parameter for the volumetric object
• fixed: clicking the "hide to camera in shadow pass" checkbox could set it to an indeterminate state (checked but grayed out)
• the environment intensity multiplier is exported to Maxwell so that the value correctly appears in the multilight panel
• renamed default item in the FIRE window camera menu to make its purpose clearer
• the material displacement component is exported even when it is disabled, so that it does not disappear when editing a material with MXED
• fixed: the density parameter for the scatter modifier did not allow decimals
• fixed: wrong file names for custom alpha channels
• fixed: crash in Max 2012 when changing a viewport to ActiveShade
• fixed: crash in some cases when closing the object properties dialog when Maxwell is not the active renderer
• fixed: viewport slowdown when using many MxLights set to correlated color emission
• fixed: the range of the emitter correlated color and coating thickness parameters did not match Studio
• added support for multiple selection in the light linking UI
• added support for per-material custom alphas
• decreased the time needed to open the object properties dialog on scenes with many referenced materials
• fixed: the "use global settings" texture parameter was not set correctly when importing a MXM file
• fixed: constant density volumetric objects were not exported correctly
• fixed: floating reflections/shadows were not working when rendering in draft mode
• fixed: visibility flags were not exported correctly for Max instances
• fixed: incorrect names exported for Max instances, causing blocked emitters to break if they were instanced (among other things)
