Maxwell Render | Official public forum

This is my first test with Maxwell. It's not in any way complete but it's a beginning. Please tell me your opinion and any tricks that might improve the image.

*settings:
resolution: 640 x 480

Thanks beforehand

Link doesn't seem to work. 2nd try

:: is it me or the scale looks a bit off? very nice by the way::

Thanks for the comments. I tried to measure everything correctly, don't know if I missed anything....

:: it is more to do with maxwell system units... i think they might be wrong... ::

I finally got some time to update this scene. Changed the time of the day from afternoon to morning so now i'm getting a lighter image. Added a few bits and pieces here and there, and 3 wooden figures. The glows on the walls are because of the highly reflective material of the wooden figures.
It took 9 hours to render and reached level 15.


Now check out the next image.


This image took only 2 hours and 34 minutes and reached the same level (15).

The only difference is that I got rid of the 2 emitters at the top. But as you can see they do not contribute that much to the final light of the scene, and it renders so much faster.
My question is that since MR is based on real physics, shouldn't 2x150Watt lamps create a much lighter scene?

Please comment on this, I'm looking forward to find out.

My question is that since MR is based on real physics, shouldn't 2x150Watt lamps create a much lighter scene?

I think it is because the sun is so much brighter than the electric lights that their contribution to the scene is negligible.
