![]() My plugin also allows you to specify an auto MXM directory, which it can use to ensure that your sketchup material names match up with mxm filenames within that directory structure.Īnyways, I wanted to make it available in case anyone was interested. You can select the individual sketchup materials, and if the maxwell material panel is enabled it will pop up as it normally would. It generates a table listing all of the sketchup materials and their associated maxwell attributes. My plugin simply reads those attributes and presents them in a useful manner. So what does it do? Well, when you use the maxwell plugin to assign materials, you're simply attaching extra attributes onto the sketchup materials in your sketchup file. ![]() ![]() I've only been using it for a couple of hours, but so far I'm finding it extremely helpful at finding & eliminating problems in the maxwell material assignment process. When I saw how straightforward everything looked I decided to hack together a plugin of my own. I spent the last two nights learning ruby and going over the sketchup api in hopes of better understanding what was going on behind the scenes. I ran into trouble when it came to assigning materials, and needed a way to diagnose some of the problems I was having. I started learning sketchup a few days ago and was eager to try some renders via the maxwell plugin.
