This is our project. It was our first attempt to use Maxwell. All was modelled in Sketchup and then rendered in Maxwell. We used the model to make the 2D drawings as well. Actually all we did was make the SU model and the rest is Maxwell in colour and PS. I used multilight for the smaller renderings. I did not know then the constraints using multilight and had to reduce those renderings into smaller prints on the boards.
We did not win btw.

By making the model look like a wooden one we could keep the model fairly simple and use it as well for the grayscale drawings. It was an experiment if Maxwell would be productive in our office or not. We decided to develop a workflow in Modo as well after this. Maxwell does give wonderful results but even up till today we are facing a lot of basic modeling problems using SU and Maxwell. This project was done in SU5, SU6 is now very problematic if you want as I do finetune and texture in Studio. At this moment the present plugin for SU6 is not working properly.

ok, will do so later. I am having a difficult time even finding where I left the original jpg's. Your picts look great but the competition wasn't about that....lol.
The competition was a total dissappointment for me when the jury results came out. As I read on the Swedish discussion forum the winners where praised by Swedish press as great and daring architecture. I am puzzled...probably seen to many galleries on CG forums.

For those that want to see the winners as well
