~better documentation.

~keep maxwell as a 3rd party plug-in to MAX and make material editor see Maxwell Materials.

thanks.

I wish the objects names in Maxwell Studio could keep the original names instead naming all the same (as the 3d file) with a number.

[Ernesto]

Automatic Focus Collision Mode like in the Matador Software.
Deph of field limits marks by adding the two planes in the camera viewing cone.

[Ernesto]

Enable extrernal references MXS files to be read by a mother MXS file, as it is possible in Autocad Maya Softimage Max etc so that we can handle complex models without the high risk of having everything in a single file!

[Ernesto]

Enable the North to be rotated so that we can have the objects aligned to the coordinate axis, and at the same time being able to reproduce correct sun angles for certain locations month and day and hour.
Enable DIRECT SUN angle setting independently the locations time or month.
Sometimes we need to fake reality too.

[Ernesto]

I wish we could assign materials by layers.
In architectural visualization, it happens that the design is being adjusted during the visualization work. This means reimporting the meshes, with the consequent work loses: for instance mapping assigning materials by objects etc.
If that could be saved into layers we could chage the mesh and that is it!

[Ernesto]

I wish a realistic Production Scheddule so that we can plan our lives, without changing the scheddule every 10 days.

[Ernesto]

I would like the preview image to keep the same proportions or aspect ratio as the rendered image. One of the things I try to check in the preciew is the framing and composition.

[Ernesto]

Enable RPC content, or create a Maxwell Native View Dependant object that we could use in the same way.

[Ernesto]

I wish Maxwell Studio could render spherical equirectangular panoramas, and save them as MXI with HDR imformation in it.
Then I wish I could use those panoramas as spherical background images that will reproduce the original lighting through the HDR imformation.
I wish this sphere will not need to be modeled, since the real setting should be an infinite radius. The sphere should be a virtual sphere (not a mesh in the 3d model)

[Ernesto]

I wish we could save enviroments files withe the folowing information:
Sun angle, time year etc.
Phisical or other sky settings.
Background image or not

And that these enviroment files could be linked to any camera, so that they will be ready to render.

[Ernesto]

I wish we could save rendering settings so that they could be called to create a new camera linked with a new enviroment.
We could share camera settings and enviroment settings with other users.

[Ernesto]

Batch processor
That could call a camera with certain rendering settings as well as certain enviroment settings, and render a sequence of views automatically.

[Ernesto]

I wish that the lighting data could be reused somehow to reduce rendering time in the second third and further images of the same model, like in the radiosity calculations.
I do not know if that is possible due to the nature of maxwell calculations....

[Ernesto]

I would like a "Match Perspective Tool" that could help to determine a camera viewpoint, when having a site photograph, in order to create a posprocesing photo mounting.
