Maxwell Render | Official public forum

take a look at the video tour
http://www.pi-vr.de/en/vred-professiona ... -tour.html

For $25,000 per license?

Bubbaloo hello, I'm not convinced that the price is really justified. Still, there are a lot of cool options. Have you watched all the videos?
What I find really interesting would be to Maxwell:

- Motionblur directly configurable in the studio
- DirectNurbs rendering
- Variant Set
- NPR rendering

With Realtime Rendering becoming a serious option direct Nurbs Rendering seems to get reevaluated by quite a few firms.
(Vred says they profit from faster Precalculation). This capability added to Maxwell would probably make all Rhino/Solidworks-Users
very happy.

yes yes Direct Nurbs rendering please

it would be amazing, if maxwell would ever feature that.. using perfect geometry for perfect realism .. a dream team.

.. but i haven't heard of any path tracer that can use them directly.. maybe there are some technical issues with this..
afaik even the "new" Arnold doesn't seem to support nurbs directly..
