Hello! I think the main problem with the color of the water comes from the saturation of the "Transmittance" color. The more saturated it gets, the easier is to get closer to that color as the light attenuates. By default, the water preset from the Transparent assistant assigns a pure white color to...

Hello Julien, The command changed in Maxwell 5 as there are now two different benchwells: one for CPU and another one for GPU. If you want to launch the benchwell for CPU, the flag would be -benchwell-cpu And for GPU, it would be -benchwell-gpu It's true it hasn't been updated when running the -h co...

Hello Mark, In order to get a super clean and super fast-rendering water material, just create a normal transparent refractive material, assign it to the water plane object and then, select the object and, in its properties, hide it to GI (or global illumination). This way, you'll have a material th...

Hello! The update is finally out! I'm sorry it took a while, but we changed the developer in charge (he will take a better care of it, I think) so it took a while for him to get the hang of it and make it his own. Also, we took care of the of the new texture options in SketchUp so they were nicely c...

Hello,

I'm afraid this may come in very late, but you can do so by selecting the MXS reference and going to the Attributes Panel > Geometry tab > and in the File field, select a different MXS file.

I have a couple of canned responses that may or may not apply in your case (be particularly careful with the last one): 1.- Some other processes may have a higher priority than Maxwell and override its control of the CPU power: Look for and reduce the priority of processes like OfficeClickToRun.exe ...

Hello Emanuele, I have the feeling I have already replied to you through the support channel but I'll reply here too for anyone interested: The plugin installer (maxwell_rhino_v5.2.6.8_WIN) includes everything you need; it actually contains several installers nested inside. In general terms, if it's...

Beautiful work, Val!

Kind regards!
Fernando

Hello,

For the moment, you have to use the Archicad version for Intel, even on computers with Apple Silicon processors, for the plugin to work. It will work fine using Rosetta automatically.

Hopefully, we can get a version natively compatible with Apple Silicon soon.

Best regards,
Fernando
