Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hi all,
I use simple scatter tool for ICE. If i try to render i got spheres only. I found in manual that is normal behavior. Any hope for scatter support in new update of plugin?

And you want to see instances of your objects? Please send me a simple scene, or give more info. Particle instances should work ok. As well as regular instances.

Mihai,

I use simple scatter compound: http://www.vfxarea.com/?p=215

Here is a problem:

1.I have simple scene:



2.I use scatter tool:



3.Here is render region preview in MentalRay:



4....And in Maxwell:



5. If i use default shapes (e.g.boxes):



6. I have such result:



Thank you for help

Try setting the scale (not the size) when you are using instances, otherwise I think Maxwell sets it to 0,0,0

It doesn't help:( By the way regular instances work perfect.

I think it's a problem with the Add point node and instance shape in this case. I'll let the plugin developers know, thanks for the screenshots

EDIT: it does work correctly however with the Emit from geometry node, and hooking an instance shape in there. Might be a workaround for now.

Good news, this is fixed for the next update. It should be out very soon.

Thank you!!!

On my wishlist are also material preview in render tree and shader color in texture decal mode if i don't use any texture

Wish nr 1 is also already in the next update
