Maxwell Render | Official public forum

I have just saw in the web site, a proposed workflow from Autocad to Maxwell. It is ok, but I must say, it is not the ideal. That is a too simple way, that do not take into account most of the normal obstacles in a visualization work. At least this will work for simple scenes, but would be too risky for huge works. With the available version, there is a much more profesional way of working, that is less risky, and let several users to work in a team. Not to mention that in the proposed workflow each time the model is updated you will lose all the rendering enviroment settings materials even cameras created within the studio. I wish you could update the description in your web site, with this better workflow:

Here you are:
Divide the job into many logical parts, and export each part individually to mxs files. Assign materials to each part in studio. Keep the parts separated just in case of accident.
Create a new mxs file, where you have the cameras and inport all the logical parts to it. In case of update, just import the lkogical part that was updated reducing the risk of errors.
If something goes wrong you will ever have the parts.

Anyway I still hope a much better way would be available soon in which you could connect files without importing them into a single file. I also hope you could convert blocks to groups as they are imported into studio.


That would be really great!!!!
