Hey guys, I just got maxwell and I'll be testing this great render in my P4 w/ 1G of ram in Maya and Rhino3D

and I already have some questions...

My first question was going to be why some scenes render fine and some others it render compleately black... But I already figure out that Maxwell at the moment doesn't handle nurbs

My other question which I guess has been asked before is: Is maxwell planning to integrate better to maya?? Particulary in the hypershade... is it possible to use tools like ramps or shadered layers??? I try using the layered shader with a lambert and a MXDiffuse but no luck

Thanks a lot guys...
and Sorry if those questions has beem asked before ... I'll be using the search tool from now on

Regards,
Leo

are you using the latest version? What are your settings for your "black" scenes?
You can only use maxwell materials, maxwell is only going to be an exporter for your maya scenes, all your scene setup will be dont for the most part inside the maxwell gui once its released, hope this helps some.

Cheers

Hey Brett,
I download Mayall and Maxwell 2 days ago for first time (Frieday) So I'll asume I have the lastest version.

I did use maxwell materials... But the difference between the scene that renders fine and the one that renders all black is that the black scene was made out of olny nurbs.

yeah, maxwell only supports polys
