Panorama Exporter in 3ds

I am using VIZ 2006 that has a standard "Panorama Exporter" utility that allows to create and then view 360 degree spherical panoramas. It functions launching 6 renderings for the camera in place (front, back, right, left, up, down). Everything is seamless; the renderings are automatically brought in the utility and stitched to form the 360 degree view. Unfortunately if I assign the Maxwell renderer this is what happens: 6 copies of Maxwell Render are launched at the same time and each one generates one of the 6 renderings, everything stops there, the Panorama Viewer does not pick up the 6 images and it just shows a black screen.

Does anybody have any idea on how I could fix that? I tried to take the 6 Maxwell shots and stitch them in Photoshop but I could not make it work...

Thanks,
M

Try to put them together with "Panorama maker" or some program like that. Good to know it somehow works.

It won't be possible with Maxwell, since it have to constantly feed the panorama plug-in with a correct order of the rendered images. I recommend the use of a third party tool.
