I am trying to render an image of a part that is powder-coated white (semi-gloss).
while i am using a material that seems appropriate (glossy white plastic mxm) the output looks like crap.
in fact i have been able to get anything but steaming piles out of maxwell.
obviously i have no idea wtf i am doing.
i am using the formz plug-in (which just seems to be an in-program menu option that launches maxwell studio).
using the default lights from maxwell.
+ an change to the resolution settings inside maxwell seem to have no effect on the resolution of the final output.
can anyone point me in the right direction to get started?
all the "tutorials" i have seen on the maxwell site are totally useless, it's like someone looked at the interface and then tried to describe it in words.
a nice video tute showing how you setup a simple object for render would be helpful, it's gotta out there somewhere right?
