I think this is the best and simplest rendering software I've seen. :)

However Im affraid that there will be no support in the beta version for hardware rendering and hypershade with interactive placement :(

Can anyone please tell me if this is not the case so that I may buy the software today? :)

IOnteractive placment is not a big issue.

What works just great is to have a Surface shader with the same name as the MXshader is, (ie: maxwell shader name: mxPlastic_Carpaint / mayasurfaceshadername SSmxPlastic_Carpaint) Then you apply your surface shader to your geometry,, use the surfaceshaders hardware texture attribute on to its color and then use mayas regular interactivve placment tool or just adj your UVs in texture editor and look at your model in the Shaded Texture viewport. After you get you shader like you need then jsust replace the "SSmxPlastic_Carpaint with mxPlastic_Carpaint"
If you have alot of shaders you can do a quick me scripte to assign and reassign your surface shaders for placment.. then simply do a preview in maxwell at say 25 % viewport scale with RENDER SELECTED OBJECT on to tweek your Maxwell shader attributes... THIS SERIOUSLY is a no biggie .. Just go head and creat your surface shaders it really he.lps, and wastes no time, acctually faster than guess n checkrendering.,.
Happy MAXWELLING,.,. HURRY GO head n buy IT before it goes up in $$!!
ITS totally 1000000 % worth it! just great rendering!

Thank You very Much for your help! :)

Im not quite sure how to substitute shaders yet or even how to teak maxwell shaders, but if this works this would not only provide a quick solution to render with maxwell :) But would it also provide a quick way of changing current drawings already textured into maxwell textures? Brilliant, Absolutely Brilliant :D

Could you tell me in points how to teak maxwell shaders :?: and more importantly, how to substitute shaders :?:

Thanks!

PS Im going to buy the software this weekend :twisted:
