NL's latest "white paper" shows some very appealing features, and I was wondering if things like the Materials Editor and Materials Browser they're showing will be available in the FZ plug-in?

Another thought, I've been seeing some absolutely awesome images in the User Gallery, were all these images created with a beta version???

Actually I would not be too upset (if at all) if I had to import the model into Maxwell and then take it from there. There will be some models that will be created knowing that it's going out to Maxwell and others that we'll do in Renderzone inside FZ. I just don't want to end up having to apply materials in both apps. Both of us here actually prefer the way Renderzone does exteriors over Maxwell...the high level of realism in Maxwell is not as appealing to us as the manner in which RZ renders (and is VERY fast compared to Maxwell), although I'll leave that option open. For interiors, Renderzone can not touch Maxwell and will probably commit all those to MW...will depend on how fast MW is with 1.0 and how fast I need the image.

Adehus, take a look at the "emitter to simulate directiional halogen lights" thread...I just posted my last version using fully modeled lamps.
