Hello,
I work as a free-lance technical designer using maxwell render for the visualisations for projects or products I work on.
Here's one :
I'm using MicroStation XM for the 3D modeling and wrote my own software addition to convert the 3D dgn-file to an obj-file that I can easily use in Maxwell Studio.
I love this rendering software !
Regards,
Willy

hi Willy, great rendering!
I use Microstation XM for almost all my modeling to, but I use the Maxwell Plugin for Microstation made by Matt Gooding at Bentley. Not many users know about this plugin, but it works really well! It was released just a coul\ple of months ago.
Read more about it here:

Hello Kurt,
I tried the plugin from Matt Gooding when it was in Beta, and I think it's a great tool, only my own program was allready finished then, so I keep using it also because it took quit some effort to make it, and it's such a shame just not to use it anymore
And on the other hand, I also use it to export models from MicroStation to Maya sometimes because obj is realy usefull then. (I don't like dxf this way)
Greetz,
Willy

Well,, ....... looking at it, .. clearly its designed for working within a pipe (varying radius), but beyond that ------- I'm stumped. lol. It doesn't look like it extracts anything ........ , maybe it just takes sample ?? ....dunno.

It's a device that's indeed being pulled through a pipe.
Internally it is filled with a lot of sensors and electronics so it knows exactly where it is at any time, and in the end, when you read the data into the computer the result is a 3D curve into a cad-program showing you where the pipeline is located.
It's very usefull in many situations where an industrie has underground pipelines and doesn't know where they exactly are.
And it's working completely independent, no satelites or so are needed, so no matter how deep or in what conditions the pipeline is, it will measure the path of it.
Don't forget to switch it off when putting it in the car, or your boss will exactly know where you were
