Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Yep,

got my vote here, Maxwell for Microstation please. I know of a lot of people who use and who bug me about doing renderings for them. imagine if I could go and tell them to do it themselves!

:: WolfKiller.... i find your openion about MIcroStation ill informed and very poor. Obviously you're probably used to the more professional and user friendly stuff like ?sketchup or vectorworks? Or maybe even that wonderful product out [every six months] from autodesk?

I should et you know that such comment shows your ignorance about the program and does not help this debate.

I love MS and think that already has a few features that enable great renders... but if maxwell got behind it i could convince my boss to get a few licences....


So Next Limit.... start aiming at a few new costumers [ i am sure they make more than 1 in a million]

So, anyway. still plenty of interest for a microstation plugin. can't wait for it!

I imagine it wont be released untill the stand alone version of maxwell, you would then export your microstation model, load it in Maxwell and assign materials and set up lighting. I am only speculating though!

:: WolfKiller... sorry but you talk too much crap....

i should stick to some advise given to me by a good friend of mine:

'...don't argue with an idiot because he will take you down to his level and beat you with experience!


enough said!::

::

This from a growing 3d model that also provides the work drawings .

Eat that AutoDesk..... ::

i don't see it in the plug-ins list, so no need to be pushy

Ah but whiskey, it is in the plugin list and has been from the beginning!

To be constructive...
I have been using MS for almost 10 years and think it is a very good 3D modeller. I wish it could do organic stuff (a bit tired of crimping other's mattresses and pillows) but word is that this will get better in XM...
Any way. For the longest time I defended MS rendering and actively participated in the Bentley MS VIZ NG.
When I, recently, joined the product design team in my office we, as a group, decided to use MAX with FR1 for rendering (I tried to convince the group to stay with MS but the rest of the team models in ProE and they were just convinced that FR1 would be easier to learn). I have to say that this has opened my eyes. It really is much easier to get good results in FR1, though I think it was easier to pick up for me because of my MS render background. The thing I hate, though, is having to use MAX just to get to the rendering engine. I am used to working in a CAD program (AC would not be that different from MS) so I really find MAX annoying.

This is why I hope that Maxwell will be only the first to give us an alternative to MS render. If, as I assume, a Maxwell Plugin means that we would be able to do our render setup directly in MS, albeit slightly differently than we do now, that is only much the better. I do hope this can go further than the rantings of someone that, IMO, should be barred from the Forum.

If it does go forward I will be glad to provide what I hope will be constructive criticism.
Maybe we can all do that, but firs we need to know that things are happening. I know from the MS VIZ NG that Victor, or someone for him, has contacted Bentley and that he has been given the information that Bentley believes he needs in order to start work on the MS Plugin.

Hopeful,
Stefano
