Hello dear users,

We have just released Maxwell 4 | Archicad 4.2.5.

It fixes some bugs and makes some improvements for a better workflow. Please, check the release notes below.

We had to drop support for Archicad versions 16, 17, and 18 in MacOS. In the case of Windows we managed to support these versions, so we still support from ARCHICAD 16 to 22. We are sorry for the inconveniences.

As always, you can download it from the portal (https://portal.nextlimit.com).

We hope you enjoy it. Please, let us know any problem you find.

These are the release notes:

Maxwell 4 | Archicad 4.2.5
Publish date: Tue, 26 Feb 2019

Changes:
  • Added two new ColorSpaces: ACES and HDTV (Rec.709)
  • Added two new parameters at Maxwell for Archicad Preferences Dialog > General Tab > Animation: Render Time in Anim and SL in Anim. In earlier versions, these parameters came up in a dialog before the animation render started, but that caused Archicad crash under OSX, so now these are editable from the Preferences dialog.
  • The MXM Web Gallery downloads the files into a fixed Gallery folder. This folder is by default in Documents/Maxwell/ac2mxs/WebGallery folder, but the user can set a custom directory for the Gallery downloads inside Preferences.
  • Added new Preference parameter "Use custom folder for MXM Gallery downloads". This was added to the Preferences dialog "Texture Folders" tab.
Fixes:
  • MXM Web Browser didn't place the imported mxm file into the download directory.
  • MXM browser didn't show the folder icons.
  • FIRE window crashed under Mac OS Mojave.
  • Maxwell Material preview didn't show the texture in "Use mxm" mode if Archicad texture was not set for the material.
  • Channel Render mode "Reflections + Refractions" was exported as "Diffuse + Reflections".
Version support changes:
  • We dropped support for Archicad versions 16, 17, and 18 in MacOS. In the case of Windows we managed to support these versions, so we still support from Archicad 16 to 22.
Will there be a Maxwell Render 6 ?

Let's be realistic. What's left of NL is only milk[…]
