Re: URGENT! I can't reactivate my v3 license

Hi numerobis, if I remember correctly, You can generate and activate Your license twice. even if You have node locked license. So NL should solve Your case soon. I also have V3 floating license with 10 nodes, so If You have some serious problem, and if Your project is not confidential maybe I can he...

Re: Help with plastic/glass material

Hi ki_cz, As I wrote before, but here is the simple explanation. I can only attach pictures from maxwell render V3, but I am almost sure, that nothing will be different in V5.1. As I wrote before, this is a "classic" - caustic through dielectrics problem. You can see in my simple pictures how it wor...

Hi ki_cz, this is my attempt with another engine, but maxwell will do this (with infinite time). It is a known problem with refracted caustic (from the sun or any too directional light) seen through dielectrics (real glass). You can see caustic (colored light in the shadow) directly, but not through...

Hi Artem, I think Your cream material is too glossy = reflect more light than it should. Your cream has an almost pearl effect. Maybe it is for purpose but if not, try to use one layer 2 BSDF material with one 99 roughness white (225) combined with 10% additive BSDF with 0 roughness 1,4 fresnel. I t...

Hi Alan, here is my similar problem https://forum.maxwellrender.com/viewtopic.php?f=140&t=45322&p=398335#p398335 . Maybe it will work for You. Check Your license file folder and Your licenses on Your computer. For me it still doesn`t work. If I want to use my V3 license, I have to uninstall all Maxw...

Visual (physically correct) aspect of image wasn`t enhanced since V3. Now GPU is much faster, but without CPU features. If all features will be implemented to GPU engine (if - because other engines have the same problem - to port all CPU features to GPU engine), it will probably slower it down littl...

It should work, but it is somehow complicated (for me it still doesn`t work). Look here viewtopic.php?f=140&t=45322

Sean, it depends which software You want to integrate plugin with. If Your software has good import/export format options (as for example my Rhinoceros has) it is better to upgrade plugin. But things are not that easy. I upgraded to Maxwell V4 Rhino plugin (at that time we had 1 other plugin free - ...

It is funny, that this thread "is Maxwell render abandoned?" is more discussed, than other maxwellrender 5 related threads. Maybe beacuse this was one of few alive threads in near past except "Rhinoceros 6 support" and some few others. I have one question. If there will be no hybrid CPU+GPU render, ...

Sad to say, but numerobis is right. It seems to me, that real maxwellrender development left with Juan Canada. Look at these old documents: http://on-demand.gputechconf.com/gtc/2016/presentation/s6647-juan-canada-maxwell-render.pdf http://on-demand.gputechconf.com/gtc/2017/presentation/s7461-Juan-%2...
