Installation

The installation of Maxwell plugin for Modo R2 is a very easy and straightforward process but there are some things to consider.

System requirements

Before you begin the installation process make sure that Luxology modo 501 SP3 64bit (or newer version) is installed on your computer.

It is also recommended to install Next Limit Maxwell 3.0 or newer version before you start the plugin installation.

Supported Luxology modo versions

modo 501 SP3 (minimum) - Windows 64 bit (Vista or newer version), Mac OS X (10.7. or newer version).

modo 601 - Windows 64 bit (Vista or newer version), Mac OS X (10.7. or newer version).

modo 701 - Windows 64 bit (Vista or newer version), Mac OS X (10.7. or newer version).

Supported Maxwell Render version

Maxwell Render 3.0

Installation on Windows

Once you download and decompress the zip file, you have to double click on the setup executable file. If modo is running, please close it first!

Follow the instructions of the Setup Wizard: select the Destination Location, choose the appropriate plugin version (32 or 64 bits), and type the name of the Start Menu Folder. That’s all you have to do, the installer will take care of all the other things.

In case you have a previously installed plugin version, the installer will run in update mode. The update mode is even simpler than the normal installation mode, it uses your original installation settings to update/repair your plugin version.

Installation on Mac OSX

Once you download and decompress the dmg file, you have to double click on the package file. If modo is running, please close it first! The installer installs the plugin into the ’/Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/Luxology/Configs/Maxwell plugin for Modo R2’ directory. If there is a previous installation, the installer removes it, but it keeps the content of the ’Default Export’ folder.

If you receive the following error during installation:
Can't remove temporary installation folder from the private/temp directory!

Login as root user, and modify the permissions on both the private and tmp directories to CHMOD 777. Also set the owner of both directories to your admin login account which is the account you should use when installing the plugin.
