Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hello all,

Great honnor to post here one of our latest job.

This is a "hot-site", about built-in kitchen products.

Contracted by Brastemp, major brazilian appliance manufacturer, witch is owned by U.S. company Whirlpool.

These are premium products, with starting price from Us$ 500,00 cooktop to a Us$ 4.000,00 refrigerator.

The site has over 30 products. All images and animations done in maxwell.

Modeled in 3Dmax, interactive content composed in Adobe Flash.

Hope you like ! We are getting very good feedback from both company and customers.

Project took over 2 months to complete.

For those who can't understand portuguese, just click on the text in the first windows, than simply choose you product on the above menu, and after the pop-up show the studio version of the product, click on "incluir produto na cozinha". You can select betwen day and night on the moon and sun icons.

Coments very welcome.


also for those interesed in our company, please visit our remodeled website @ www.outravista.com.br.

very well done! Creative use of Maxwell and interesting interactive web solution!

...well done , but the camera-drive at the beginning is to fast, to hectic imho,...and the quality looks extreme compressed...that is the point I would think about,...but as i said,...well done!

Animation in the begining looks bad because each frame was rendered at level 12.

I've done a new animation, will be up in a couple days, but now at level 15, and each frame is about 980 X 650, takes 2,5 hrs to reach level 15 on dual quad core xeon system.

Thanks both for coments and critics !!

Region render and multi-light were essencial to this job. Thanks NL for these extreme useful tools !

Wow, congrats on the great job!

Wheres the animation? I went to the site and all I see are a few small appliance renders.

Ouch, thats bad...

Are you using mozilla or IE ??

Latest flash version ?

Oh, I got it to play. I clicked the paragraph this time. Before I had clicked the link below it, which must've been a bypass.


Its nice to see maxwell in motion, although the camera work is sorta jerky. I commend your use of maxwell for animation

Ok all, thaks for coments !

new animation going up tonight, check it out later y'all...

The compression seems to have screwed up the quality of the animation. I understand maxwell is grainy, but there is low quality blotchiness going on. I also agree that the camera movements were jerky.

Thanks everyone for these comments.

I've got a new animation up now, each frame rendered level 15, way better, but the camera still the same, and some work on it would be nice.

Did the studio placed imagens pleased y'all ?

It was done in MW 1.5, i had to wait to upgrade, installed new version only yesterday.

Waht about Tom, Mverta, never seen they coment any of our work. Such specialist comments would be very nice.

cleaner animation, I'll give you that.

That camera work though really gets to me. Makes me want to kill myself, actually.

Did you do the rest of the site as well?

The entire site was made here, all the 3D, products modeling, studio and kitchen render, flash composing and programing.

This animation gets to me too, i want to review it later, but at this time it is impossible due to other major jobs on line now.

Thaks for you observation.

cheers !
