Renovator not initializing

[mpdonahue]

Just installing a 64 bit version of PMX (9.0.7) and in the render window I don't get renOVAtor. The novapyr.dll is in the folder but it doesn't make it to the render window.
Any quick solution to this problem?
All the best,

You have the standalone version of Renovator? Algorithmix is not finished with porting the security scheme to the 64-bit world.
AFAIK Merging can give you a temp key for the internal Renovator version which works in 64 bit, until Algorithmix has succeeded in porting the standalone version.
Best,

Bernhard,
No, I'm using the PMX keyed version of reNOVator. It is my understanding that it is installed with the PMX application.
The .dll is present in the renderers folder, but it does not show in the application.

This worked for me Mark:

-> Algorithmix Nova not appearing in Render window.
Workaround
1. Close Pyramix
2. Launch Windows Run (WindowsKey + R)
3. Type regsvr32 followed by a space and drag and drop on the Run command window the Algorithmix NovaPyr.dll located here
C:\Program Files\Algorithmix\Algorithmix for Pyramix\NovaPyr.dll
4. Press OK
5. It should give you a message saying that the dll has been registered.
6. Launch Pyramix and you ReNOVAtor should work again.
Note: ReNOVAtor using eLicenser is known not to be working under 64bit OS, please verify the latest on the Algorithmix site

Best,

Mark

Hmmm - I cant find C:\Program Files\Algorithmix\Algorithmix for Pyramix\NovaPyr.dll

In fact no Algorithmix folder.

Should reNOVAtor have been installed with Pyramix 9.0.7 or is a separate download/ install required.

Thank you
Larry

Oh sorry - I didn't correct the path for the merging install when I quoted.

/Program Files/Common Files/Merging Technologies/Renderers/NovaPyr.dll

is where pyramix installs it.
