Maxwell Render | Official public forum

I have just been working with the Emixer again on a small project and I love it. I have found some features missing that I really would like to have implemented (these have probably been asked before but I have not found them in the first two pages of wishes here so here goes

1. "Go to next key" and "go to prev key" buttons
2. Ability to copy/paste keys
3. Ability to move keys

4. Would be nice if the frames currently being "rendered" during a "Save sequence" would be shown in the Preview window.

5. When saving .emixer files I am not always shown existing .emixer files in the directory or asked to overwrite. Happens after loading a saved .mxi file and work from there.

6. Would be nice if "Save Sequence" could be run in "Low Priority" like a Maxwell rendering.

7. It seems like the interpolation between keys is linear. Would be usefull with a few more options, like "Fast in", "Slow in" etc.

Thanks

I'd like to second these and add a ripple option.

If one emitter needs changing for an emixer file that has lots of keys, it would be great to 'ripple' the emitter value throughout all existing keys. The manual update of every single key is very laborious and time consuming.

Tim.

when opening a saved MXI with multilight, the names is gone. Please fix that. (Dont know if mentioned before...)

Yes you are both right.

Would be very usefull with such ripple effect if possible.

Regarding missing names when reloading .mxi .. yes I have that also (had them named nicely "Front", "Right", "Left", "LeftBlue" etc. .. and then after reloading it was just "Emitter 0", "Emitter 1", "Emitter 2" etc. Very anoying (i guess the names are not saved in the MXI file).

I'd also like the option to select only certain lights that I need to open in Multilight... to help speed up rendering.
