Maxwell Render | Official public forum

The client wanted a "foam core model" look to the renderings and a color scheme that matched their brochure. I used Maximus's clay contest material, changed it to match a general color for each element, then desaturated it, then added sepia tones. They're very happy. I wish I had been brave enough to try to scale it down to 1:30 scale to make it look even more like a model... maybe next time. These are scaled down from the 5000x2813 renderings I ran. The longest one took 14 hours. Not bad at all. C&C after the fact is welcome.

Looks good! I would have gone with the small scale too.

nice effect. agreed on the smaller scale. how's the weather there in austin. it couldnt be better here in houston

Thanks, I'll update the thread when I get time to try the small scale look.

Rustberg, you changed your location and icon before I could make a comment. I grew up in Houston and the fact that your icon was toilet paper and your location was "see above" made me laugh so hard. As for our weather, when I get a chance to be outside the office during daylight hours I'll let you know.

misterasset,

yes, there are definately some places in houston that require more toilet paper than others. i grew up in brownsville, (handfull of german blondes stood out like a sore thumb) so i've been carrying around the t.p. for quite some while now. my wife and i are currently buying a house on heights blvd. have inspection thrusday. it should be a typicall heights inspection report; termites, foundation, old electric. so it looks like we will be here for a little while longer.

That's seems to be the most ridiculous treat of Maxwell. Use a render that's capable of producing renders that looks like photos - and you build models with it....

Looks like some architect saved some time.... "oops, I've forgotten the model, but i have some photos of it with me." ....

Yeah, it does seem like a weird use, but the light distribution of Maxwell is unbeatable, and that's what I was looking for.
