Images look great, real lighting, real physics, etc etc But why don't you just show us some images of the interface of 1.0? So we all can see the cool tools you describe.
The creator of Maxwell should know, "A picture is worth a thousand words!!"
So please.........

They certainly have time to test the features, so showing some pics of these new features is only going to help their sales......and still no word at all about displacement.....I'd rather have displacement than normal mapping. Disp can replace normal mapping but normal mapping can't replace displacement.....
I don't even want to see the IF, it may not be totally done yet, but at least post some pics and state what has been fixed, it's like they don't want to sell Maxwell....strange....
Everybody who reads these forums, even if they don't have Maxwell, know what the issues are, with clipmaps, sun+caustics, glass blur etc....they wait to find out if these things have been taken care of, or else they will not buy Maxwell, even at the current promo price of 500. So NL is loosing sales, not because the pictures aren't pretty enough, but because they don't mention anything about these issues.

Again I have seen all the beautifull renders but I want to see the interface, how does it look like, what can we edit, what can we adjust, what can we see, what can we do....just some screengrabs of the interface.
Do you want to sell more copies then just show what you are selling, not just renders.....

Hello
> Do you want to sell more copies then just show what you are selling, not just renders.....
I fully agree. We bought project:messiah some Years ago for 1800EUR and it becomes useless because of its inprefect/unfinished renderer.
Im sure there are many user out there they need more than only Images.

I had exactly the same, also bought Messiah, now I have it I never use it, anyone interested?
Maybe thats the reason why we want to see images of the interface!
I thinkk that Maxwell don't have a good sales department yet......

@Cyberfish_Fred
Well, yes. pmG (messiah) dropped their prices to 995USD (some 800EUR).
We sold our M:S for some 200EUR. You can imagine (1600EUR less).
So, no more buying renderer which makes advertising with nice images.
I want to test the WorkFlow before buying the product.

And I want to know too how is it going to work. Will we have to export geometry to maxwell or we will have plugins as now? I personally prefer plugins cause I can apply mats as I'm building the volumes. Or maybe we will have to export the completely finished geometry and after that apply all the materials?
That could be kind of annoying.
