RPC Content for Maxwell

Before I started using Maxwell and all my rendering was done in Form-Z, I used RPC content from Archvision. I have purchased a lot of it over the years. I'd like to be able to continue to use it with my Maxwell Renderings. I am wondering if anyone from Next Limit can tell me if they have ever considered a plug-in for Maxwell Render to render RPC content. Is anyone else desiring support for use of RPC content with Maxwell?

I asked Archvision and this is what they told me.................

Hello Aaron,

"Unfortunately Maxwell Render does not support RPC format at this time. Please write to Next Limit, the manufacturers of Maxwell Render and tell them that you want to see support for RPCs added to their product. Anything is possible. If enough users tell Next Limit that they want to have support for RPC added to their product I am sure that they will want to make this happen".


Thanks,

I will have to disagree with this wish. Putting an RPC into a Maxwell render would be like putting dirt into the gas tank of a Ferrari... :wink:

Just my opinion...

Maxwell needs fully 3d geometry for trees/cars/people to take advantage of it's incredibly realistic lighting.

No, please, no RPC... I know that it would be the easiest thing for adding humans but it is not Maxwell quality... Using 2d planes with clipmaps is sometimes much better than this....
