Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hi All. I'm new to the forums, and just wanted to post some of my work in progress using maxwell. Heres an interior I started working on a couple weeks ago. the geo is very poor right now; im simply tiling a plane for the walls, while I design the space and get a sense for the scale of the scene. My main focus on this right now is the feel of the metal panel walls; Making sure that it is responding correctly to the light in the scene.

Welcome to the forum. It's quite difficult to comment on what you've posted so far, but it's looking cool for sure. Also had a look at your site and there's some great work on there. Looking forward to seeing more.

What is that?
I posted this inside a totally different thread.
I saw this happen the other day already - please fix this NextLimit!


I' d much rather liked that functionality to be added to the Plugins.
As I imagined that to be very difficult I didn't dare to ask.
What great sense would it make for Plugin-Users to have that sort of HDR-Setup-Option inside Studio?
Then we can also export to HDR-Light-Studio...

The most efficient way to work - at least for people who's Models can still change at any point in
time is to stay inside the Modeling-App for all processes.

I think it looks very interesting so far. I would love to know you rendering times for the animation? How much per frame, and are you rendering using a render farm? Keep going on this as it is looking really good!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Im not using a renderfarm, just my imac i7 with 4g of ram, haha...not the fastest I know. Right now I have a benchmark of about 60, which I hope to speed up. My frames are 30min each, at a res of 1280 by 720. The earlier wip was done at 1920 by 1280, with a much higher benchmark; I think i was getting faster times because at that stage, I was only rendering with an hdri. Currently I have the hdr, plus a small plane in the distance that I am using for the sunlight. It helps me to have a seperate sun, so that i can control the ambient/sunlight ratio more easily.

Thanks for the views and support. -Erik

For me it's looking perfect
Nice material, nice room
