and anouther question.... is the network rendering (using more than one computer) working in currently in the alpha's? is anyone using more than one coputer to render?

thanks,

Rhinoll is plugin for McNeel's Rhino3D. You need it to create MXS scene for Maxwell renderer directly from Rhino.

Network rendering is functional. But not the 'shared' (two or more nodes rendering one MXS).

Rhinoll is a seperate download. It is the bridge between the Maxwell standalone and Rhino. It adds a Maxwell settings tree into the Rhino options page and it works seemlessly.... the moment you hit the render button Maxwell automatically starts rendering the same way Flamingo would start rendering. The exception is that with Maxwell you can keep working on your model (the rendering is a seperate process and does not freeze your Rhino session)

Also, if you already have a Maxwell license, Rhinoll is found in the same download page (there is no extra charge). As a matter of fact you can go ahead and download all plugins including the ones for Max, Maya, Lightwave, Solidworks...

Theory13 wrote: so rhinoll is a plug-in for rhino? it sounds like an exporter. is that correct? it works within rhino, and exports all the settings to maxwell whitch is an external program.

...am i understanding that correctly?

is it free? is it a seperate download for maxwell?

thanks znouza.

Maxwell render contains standalone renderer (mxcl) and plugins for some programs (rhino, max, maya ...). It's not free (see maxwellrender.com for pricing).

Yes, Rhinoll is the free plugin to export scenes from Rhino to Maxwell standalone. All the plugins are freely available following this scheme.
