dear maya 'n maxwell users,

i'didn't find a sollution for the scale-issue with maya and maxw.
i went to the topics that were posted about that and searched other sources on the net. not good sollution...

i tried cm, m,...
wenn i do it 1:1 in cm, i can never get the lights with 100w to giv sufficient light.
so i went down with the scale, and i could do it.
what are you experiences. what to do?!
i use maxwell to get control over the light-thing.
i'm out of control right now.
please help.
best regards,
mario

when i do it 1:10 it's working... is this the way?

well, I have still the same questions.... i'm a bit confused with the scalings and the emitter intensities. Did a lot of tests, have read all infos and docs i could find, but i'm still not very sure of the best settings....
sometimes i think i'm a bit idiot :?

but for now i wait for RC to be released, and then i will go further. anyway, i don't really have time to spend on it these days.... :)

I'm on the same boat... I have to exagerate the intensitu of all my emitters :? I though I was the only one dumb enough who didn't get the scale right
