Maxwell render grass rendering without textures (red color)?

Other renders works fine, but maxwell 3.0.1 renders any grass even from plugins as red.

maxwellGrass1
It's just attribute i don't know if it's has material. I can change color in att editor, but maxwell cant't see it.

What is the error message you are getting down there in the script editor?

I'm not real familiar with Maxwell - but do you need to create a Maxwell specific material to apply to the geometry?

I tried to assign "maxwell layered material" and then apply grass but it didn't make a difference. I found workaround for my problem. I can export .mxs from maya, import it in Maxwell Studio where i can change color of "Maxwell Default Material"  which i can't find in Hypershade.

In the hypershade - I would suspect Maxwell has it's own materials section (like MR does).

There's a 'Maya' materials section, a 'Mental Ray section'... I would suspect Maxwell does as well.

Also - are you certain you have Maxwell selected as your renderer?

Yes. I still don't know how to do this http://itaibachar.blogspot.ru/2013/06/maxwell-grass.html (green grass, gray plane) but i can live with that. Tha main problem was that maxwell plugin likes to uload and uncheck itself sometimes and i didn't notised it when i tried to apply maxwell layerd material.
