Maxwell Render | Official public forum

I did this while at work, I took one our clients house and maxwellize it!

I was also trying more clipmas and vue plants.

They are not the greatest, but I'm happy with this initial tests
(please let me know guys if you find anything decent )








and TO COMPARE... an old render using Vue 5


leo

Model in SketchUp... and I used the skecthup plugin with no problem

holly s*** the last one is not only a good render.. it is an awesome picutre.. A++!

Leonardo, did you notice the strange shaddow pattern from the clipmaps on the ground of the last picture? Could that be a bug?

lol... I've just read.. the last one was in Vue ) that's why the shaddows and the light is off all over.. )

now.. that I know that the last one was in vue.. it is nice to see the quality of the clipmaps that Maxwell can produce.. the difference is quite striking

wow, nice work, I love the feel of these images. the grass and dirt textures could be improved, but you probably know that already

yes very nice work Leonardo

As always, good jog Leo! You're really loving those clipmaps aren't you?

food for though (I bulet points )

1. I rember I had some problem with my vue rendering (The ground texture came out somewhat bad, so I photoshop parts of it, which i Think, you guys could be confusing as bad clipmaps)

2. The Maxwell renderings were faster. at 1200x900 they were fairly done in 2-3 hours while in vue it would have take me 8 hours.... Although I didn't use as many plants as I usually do for my maxwell rendering.
(I'm not an expert in either Vue or Maxwell, so I know that both programs can perform much better....

3. The house that I'm rendering (the pool area) is facing north. Therefore I couldn't show any dramatic shadows . I think with more dramatic shadows the render would have been better.

4. Textures , yes I know I need to upgrade most of my textures at work. Please don't even look at the grass (I'm in a urget need for a good grass )

5. It took me a while to come up with an enviroment that I liked in Vue, since then I save it and now I just hit render. So both renders are easy to setup! Now I need to find the sweet spot in Maxwell

leo

great! now you absolutely must rework that grass, and it will be perfect....

night shots are brilliant...

Excellent leonardo, transmittive materials rock huh

Leonardo what software are you using, are u using plugin for a particular application or just studio?

...the last one looks nice to

Very nice LEo, where did you model this? and what time is it set the sun?

I like the 2nd night shot.

Vue is very nice too.

First, I exported each tree individualy
Second, I export them using .obj (obj doesn't allow me to save the alpha map... So I save it twice one as .obj and another one as C4D) and then I used the c4d maps.

If you still have problems Then I have no clue...
