Animation is not easy with maxwell. I would prefer to check with a render farm especially if the number of frames are many.

It is easy, all you need to do is export a sequence of mxs files then load them up into either the Maxwell render manager or use a render manager such as renderpal..You can download a 30 day trial version from there site.

In this case it is called "slow". It is, but it is easy!

:D Correct, I ment that you can't easily get the animation, you have to wait long :!:

Well if you have a renderfarm it is easy then, should have been more precise :D I ran a 750 frame animation over three dual athlon 285's and was getting render times of 5mins a frame. Externals are miles quicker than interiors. I have managed to get interiors to clear up enough for animation in about 30mins which is not too bad.

I post a very basic example of an exterior animation the other day.
