Do any of the smaller VWD files work correctly? My first assumption is that the file is too large and you are running out of video memory when trying to load it. What kind of graphics card do you have?

The maxReality Viewer will default to using the Vimicro paired stereo cameras (built into the Wrap920AR) if it sees the Wrap920 connected. If you don't want to use the Vimicro cameras, press F12 on the VWD selection dialog. This will open the configuration dialog. From here, select your desired camera in the "Input device selection" area and select "Mono Stream" under "Input Mode" rather than "Stereo Pairs". This will tell maxReality to ignore the Wrap920AR configuration and just use the single camera that was selected.

The maxReality plugin does not currently work on 64-bit installations of 3DS Max because it is a 32-bit plugin. There are plans to implement a 64-bit version of maxReality at some point in the future, but it is not currently in development. Until such an update becomes available, I'm afraid maxReality will only work on 32-bit installations of 3DS Max.

sachinkolate, can you post your "maxReality.log" file here? That should provide a more detailed explanation of your error.

Hi,

I was trying to test the vuzAR demo on my Windows computer and so do I downloaded and installed the maxRality and VuzAR after that, but when I am trying to un the VuzAR I am getting "Failed to CreateIndexBuffer" error, can you please guide me resolving that so that I can test ?

Looking forward to hear you soon.

I have the exact same problem when I try to start max reality. Have you found any solutions yet?
I run Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

MaxReality 6.0 works on 3ds Max 2011 32bit though...

RE: maxReality

Mnemonic — Fri, 20 May 2011 16:47:52 GMT

Unfortunately I can't install maxReality plugin on 3ds Max 2011 64-bit, on Windows7 64 bit.
I tried 5 and 6 version of maxReality, none of it detects location of 3ds Max, and location is default "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2011\"

When I manually set such location, installer installs plugin to "Program Files (x86)", and even if I copy it from there, my 3dsMax give errror on launch, because plugin is compiled for 32bit.

I tried even unpack installer and tried three different versions of plugin (from installer) and none of them worked.
Any workaround or help how can max Reality be installed on 3ds Max 2011 64-bit?

P.S. Also:
[url=http://vuzix.com/consumer/max_reality.html#maxreality_plugin]http://vuzix.com/consumer/max_reality.html#maxreality_plugin[/url]
Here I can see that max Reality viewer must work with just simple webcam, even when WrapAR isn't attached to PC.
But this is incorrect when I try to launch simple demo scene I have an error that "Failed to Setup Capture-Paired video stream. Device: Vimicro USB2.0 UVC PC Camera".

Any tech support on this?

Here is LOG file from maxReality viewer (running without WrapAR):

I think the problem is that many of us are using 3DS max 2011 instead of 2010.

Here is the work-around I used to do a manual install:
1) Go to vuzix.com/dd and download the wrapAR + maxReality bundle
2) Extract the file, and run setup, to install like normal.
3) Download and install 7zip, which is a utility for extracting compressed files.
4) Go into the "Wrap 920AR Installer 1.1.0.7/maxreality" folder, and double-click "maxrealitysetup" to start the install ... wait for it to finish decompressing "maxReality BETA.msi", but DO NOT push the "Next" button in the installer.
5) Search for "maxReality BETA.msi" using the search box in the program menu.
6) Once you find the file, right-click it, and extract is using 7zip.
7) Copy the following files to your 3ds max plugins folder: authorizemax3d_uac.exe, authorizemaxreality.exe, maxreality.cfg, maxreality.dlu, and maxrealitydlu.cfg

Good luck!

Thanks, Looking forward to the new beta early released.

Daddo — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 14:11:15 GMT

I just got off the phone with our engineering team and they feel they have identified an issue with the installer that could result in the problem you describe.

They are working on a solution. It will take a few days to address this and test a new release but it is in the works and will be coming shortly.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

wds116 — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 21:34:12 GMT

Thank you for your reply. The operating system that I am using is windows xp professional(SP3) in chinese. 3ds max is installed in D:\Program Files\Autodesk, and maxReality is placed in C:\maxReality. I don't find the files of maxReality.dlu, AuthorizeMAX3D_UAC.exe, AuthorizemaxReality.exe and maxRealityDlu.cfg in Autodesk\3ds Max 2011\plugins directory. I have only 3ds max 2010.

RE: maxReality

Daddo — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 15:59:24 GMT

There are a couple of more items that would assist Customer Service in tracking down the source of your problem:

(1) When you installed maxReality did you place it in the default directory as suggested and if you placed it elsewhere, what is the file path used?

(2) Is your operating system English or another language?

RE: maxReality

Tech_Support — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 11:42:57 GMT

wds116,

Can please tell me what operating system you are using? Do you have more than one version of 3ds Max installed?

Regards,

maxReality

wds116 — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 05:40:30 GMT

I have installed the Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2010 correctly. And then I download the softwares of Wrap 920AR+maxReality Bundle and installed the following components:Vimicro camera drivers,Vuzix VR Manager and maxReality software package. When I launch the 3ds Max,there is no the maxReality License Activation Screen.Following the part of 3ds Max Setup & Configuration in User Guide, I don't find maxReality plug-in utility in Utilities List.
