I'm not supposed to say, but the big new feature in Maxwell 2.0 is the use of a special usb device to speed up your renders. You simply plug it in, place it on the floor in front of you, put your feet on the pedals, and pedal fast like a bicycle. Depending on how fast you are able to pedal, you can decrease your render times by a factor of 20! Also, to compliment this new feature, each license sold will come with a coupon for a free case of Maxwell Render Fit, the new energy drink.

I am a photographer by education (royal academy of arts) and using maxwell feels no different than taking a photo. it's just that the part "as easy as taking a photograph" is a bit of an understatement

I agree fully. I approach my lighting setups in maxwell the exact same way I used to do in a studio. I think it depends on how you're using it, honestly.

Living is a form of dying

Yep, change is the only constant which makes two two things one and the same.

Oh how I pray for a knurrebusk commentary about now, but he as vanished through change. If I may say, .how very knurrebusk of me to say.....

Yes, this moment asks for his consultancy on profound matters.

Is painting in Painter or Photoshop a form of painting?

Is sculpting in ZBrush a form of sculpting?

Is lighting in Maxwell a form of lighting? Is rendering in Maxwell a form of photography?

I think that if it stays on the computer that it is somewhat virtual, but once you manufacture a car that was modeled in 3D, or print a rendering on paper or canvas, it becomes a physical realization of the virtual artist. It becomes a medium in itself.

Paraphrasing what Steven Covey sayes, "All things are first created spiritually, then physically"

Is Paleolithic painting a form of painting?

[KurtS]

yes, 2.0 will be 4% faster!
