Tim Crowson has rewritten his Mari2XSI script supporting a lot of new options

Here's the information he just posted on the mailing list:



also featured on (freshly updated) rray.de

Thanks Reinhart!

Currently it only works with Mental Ray. Later this week I'll be updating it again to allow compatibility with Arnold. I don't think it will require any additional update on rray.de, however.


EDIT: Actually, the support for Arnold didn't take as long as I thought. I just updated that download link, so the latest version should support Arnold as well as Mental Ray.

Heelo
I install the addon but i have errors with it:

Can you help ?

Thank you

I fidured out

If you are in trouble to make thi addon work
do this:
1. Deselect Python instaled with XSI 2013/2014
Install python in this order:
a)vcredistx64
b)vcredistx86
allt this file you foun at microsoft (google search)
IMPORTANT:
c)Pytnon 2.6 AMD x64 instaler (version 2.6.6 from python.org)
d)pywin32 AMD coresponding to Python version

2. make a bat file with this lines:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v PYTHONPATH /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d C:\Python26
reg add HKCU\Environment /v PYTHONPATH /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d C:\Python26

And if u do this correctly u disable the python 2.7.3 ship with XSI2013/2014 and u back at Python 2.6 and everything works great


To test if it working do this:
import sys
import os
import distutils
import distutils.sysconfig
site_packages = distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(plat_specific=1)
build_no = open(os.path.join(site_packages, "pywin32.version.txt")).read().strip()
print "Python version: " + sys.version
print "PyWin32 version: " + build_no

Run this code in script editor :
If u disbale python 2.7.3
the result return nothing
If not result show u running pytnon 2.7.3 adn u do something wrong and u make star over withi this steps above

I do this and it is works for me,i cannot guarantee the results but for me WORKS
