Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Would be great to get access to the reflection channel plus the diffuse+reflection channel at the same time. It would also be helpful to be able to access other channels like GI, lighting, extra texture (to make AO passes), etc.

+1 on this. Even if Maxwell is a great renderer, there is also great to have the chance in post to affects different passes. Motion Vector, Normals and Point position pass is a great feature. And if you manage to break up diffuse and reflection, it would be nice.

The Maxwell manual even says, "Rendering separately the diffuse and reflective components allows for greater flexibility when compositing." Yeah, it does, but I am not going to cook a render twice to get the reflections channel! This is a no-brainer, we need to be able to access this channel along with the others from a single render.

This is surely a good idea nobody wants to make 2 renders instead of one so I guess
having the possiblity to get those two at once would be a grat improvement especially
in exterior scenes with a lot of reflective surface...

Looks like Random Control have managed this now: http://randomcontrol.com/blog/?p=894

But from the things I've heard about them is it trustworthy information?
