I have a Realflow scene and want to render it in the full version of Maxwell (not whatever is included in RF2015) so I can use all of my render nodes.

How can I hand it off to the full version of Maxwell?

Thanks

Maxwell includes the RenderKit functionality which means you can simply load your particle BIN file and mesh it at render time using the MaxwellMesher extension included in the Maxwell installer. Or if you already have the meshes created it also accepts BIN mesh files. Or SD wave files. More info here:

Thanks much. I'll take a look.

I have After Effects and it includes a version of Mocha, but you can go into preferences and set a parameter and it will directly connect to the full version of Mocha Pro if it's installed - which it is. Very clean and simple. I was hoping there was something equivalent in RF but it doesn't look like it.
