Hi JD,
Ik know you are working hard to get us a good working plugin for SU under OSX.
Here are some ideas I came up with using Studio as I need to now:
As an alternative it could be nice to have a dedicated export to Studio plugin. Once in this workflow I am just exporting geometry to Studio. All that I need are better to tools to organize the geometry, like layer names, groups and components as they are in SU. I imagine this is not perfectly possible but maybe you can find a way to maximize the export of the in SU organized geomtry. In such a way that adding and deleting geometry and reimporting into Studio is easier.
When I export from SU I sometimes copy geometry and paste in place into another SU file just to export that specific part. Now I seem to loose the origin of that part when I import in Studio. When I export from the same file the origin is kept and I import the part on the exact same spot as it should be. Does something get lost when I copy paste in place geomtry into a different SU file ?
Another thing is that bugs me is that the world has changed for SU users in the past half a year. For the best renders as we see them today on the web Vray has become the industry standard. It seems to be very fast and in a way friendly to use and supported by an active and enthousiast userbase. There are many ex-Maxwell users there who find themselves productive again with Vray. Since OSX users don't have a functional plugin since V2 of Maxwell came out I see that overhere at the SU-Maxwell side of the forum things have slowly died down. If the new plugin does not arrive in lets say in weeks, we will also give up and move on to greener grass. I feel a little exhausted to keep up with NL. With just one man on the pluginjob, no matter how good, Maxwell on OSX for SU users is simply not an option anymore.
