Maxigo 2.0.12a (updated on 17.oct 2009)

[suvakas]

Hey all,
I think it's time to bring Maxigo out of beta.
If there are no major bugs found, then I can upload it to the main 3ds Max download page.

One of the new features in this release is material presets. You can now create some basic material types with only a few mouse clicks. There are currently 5 different categories available: Glass, Liquids, Plastic, Metal and Other. Presets are loaded dynamically from .igm files inside Maxigo/Presets folder so they are easily extendable.

There is also one new preview model called "Waves". I think it could be good for testing SSS materials. (see the image below).

[update - Maxigo 2.0.12a]
I hopefully fixed the bug where material parameters appeared under Utilities panel after loading a scene.

You can download Maxigo from this link:

Suvakas, you can idea of what way to hasten the export of scenes from Max? It takes a little too slow

Suvakas, you can idea of what way to hasten the export of scenes from Max? It takes a little too slow

It's a bit slow since the exporter is written in Maxscript and script is quite slow when dealing with large amounts of vertecies and faces.
But the good news is, that I'm already working on some C++ code to speed up the process. So the next gen Maxigo will be a lot faster. (read next gen and not next version )

[zed_pmd]

Good tidings;) In that case, i'm waiting

Suvakas - maxigo 2.0.12 generates strange error after loading the scene:



When the material switches from the diffuse to phong etc. everything back to normal.

[suvakas]

Ups.. indeed.. thanks for the report.
I will fix it asap.

[zed_pmd]

No problem

[suvakas]

@zed_pmd
I think I fixed it. I updated the link in the 1st post of this thread.
Could you please check if it still happens ?

[zed_pmd]

Hi Suvakas, thanx for quick update
There is no error already.

Hi Suvakas, thanx for quick update
There is no error already.

So you can confirm, that the 2.0.12a fixed it for you?
If it did, then I can update the main download link too.

[zed_pmd]

Yes, I confirm. Maxigo 2.0.12a no longer has this bug.

[suvakas]
