It is very risky to have all the model in a single file, and it will be very difficult to handle.
I wish Maxwell Studio could read external files, so that We could have all the model separated in several pieces and at the same time being able to render the whole thing.

Autocad already does it, Maya, and Lightwave too.

I wonder (since there was no reply) if my wish was understood...

What I mean, is that it would be great if it could be possible to render the images from certail MXS file that could be reading other MXS files.
This is the standard way to handle huge and complex 3d models in a organized way, minimizing risks.

To make it more clear I will describe the way I use to render architectural scenes, using this structure:

Entourage File
Site File
Building File
Interior furniture file

Mother File (that reads all the other) where I can render an interior scene with furnitures, and at the same time looking out the windows where I could see the site and the neigbourhood.

If I have an accident in the entourage file, it will be easiest to fix, compared to an accident in a file that contains the whole thing!

I hope this time it is clear enough!
Thanks

Ernesto..

I think that is a great idea and very clear. As soon as they figure out the texture mapping and getting sunlight to work...they will probably pay more attention to good ideas like this one.
