I don't know if this is already possible with the Maxwell camera, but it would be a nice addition to have, for those unusual shots.

Until Maxwell is capable of replicating a true fisheye lens I am resorting to the following.
I create a sphere and apply a chrome metal material to it.
Then create a Maxwell camera and position it so that you can "see" the scene in the reflection on the sphere's surface.
It's sort of a cheap workaround to the fisheye lens dilema.

I used to do the same thing in Max. It's pretty effective.
yes

I agree. That feature would be a great addition!
