...Since I already mentioned this topic in another thread...
Wouldn't it be great to have have an option in Maxwell that would do the same thing as Multilight, only with objects - one could add/remove/hide/combine objects at any time of render the same way as one can do it with lights using Multilight.
Sounds impossible...but who whould say that Multilight is possible a few (mayby more) years ago before we've known it.
Anyway, the first step has already been made (multilight). That means Multiobject based on miltilight-technology sounds pretty real.
I wonder what developers of Maxwell think about it... :roll:

I think the big difference is that multilight has to do with light intensity, something that doesn't need much calculation... The presense or absense of a surface is something else.
