ahhh Tom... NL sent you like a prophet to announce the cool news !! you're announcing to the world how we all are going to become small gods.... recreating reality with Maxwell !

( we're lucky to be in 2005.... same story in the Middle age... and all Maxwellians in jail ready to burn.... he he)

These first renders you posted are like a breeze of fresh mountain air... we can finally breathe... !!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh... fresh air...... mmmmmm do I smell Sardines on BBQ....? he wait where is my plate....

brilliantly put herve

The images posted by NL are impressive... BUT ( )
.. I think I see less caustics coming from the metal bar.

Can anyone comment or am I seeing "dead caustics"?

Well, sampling levels (SL) are not comparable due to changes in the rendering engine. I mean SL10 of beta is different than SL10 of 1.0, so it won't help anyone.

It is "obvious" that the sampling method is different, but just as a reference.
Perhaps, there are sampling extensions (just as in a chess engine we have ply depth N but we have extentions that reach N+X when the position demands it).

Freakin schweeet! to see those thick glasses kinda thingy's there render clean that fast is almost too good to be true. I assume that sun and caustics isn't a issue anymore in 1.0

The speed / quality of the last image is truly amazing. I seriously doubt if you could this on any other renderer with this speed.

great !!!!

[neil hayes]

wow, I'm loving those reflected caustics...

Hi Tom, could you do the classic winOsi test? The scene is freely available in f.i. 3ds format. Output after 100hours looks like this:



WinOsi is like maxwell an unbiased renderer, but not a commercial one. We have however done lots of test with this scene on vray, max scanline, viz radiosity etc. Could publish these data if you are interested in doing it in maxwell.
