Hello everybody,

We have just released a new version of the plugin for SketchUp. It took us a while to release it as we had to change several things, including the installer. We are sorry to have you waiting. This time, when changing from the old installer to the new one, it will ask you to remove the previous version of the plugin. You can keep the same version of Maxwell Render 5 or Studio if you have it.

This is version Maxwell | SketchUp 5.2.5 and you can find it in the "My Downloads" section of the portal, as always: https://portal.nextlimit.com/

The main features included in this update are these:

• Added compatibility with SketchUp 2025
• The new texture options in SketchUp are now taken into account by the Maxwell Automatic character and the Normal texture for all the rest that have a bump/normal channel. This opens a quite sophisticated workflow using PBR-like materials that are automatically converted to Maxwell materials.
• There's is a new option in Maxwell's Image Based Environment type (called "SketchUp Env.") to grab the environment from SketchUp. Its rotation will be linked to each other when using this option.

We tried to keep it simple but powerful at the same time.

These are the more in-detail release notes: https://nextlimitsupport.atlassian.net/ ... on+History

We hope you enjoy it.
Best regards,
Fernando
