Maxwell Materials/ Cinema 4D Materials:

-Added Texture Preview Size combo box in Maxwell Material Properties editor. This size affects the resolution of the texture shown in the viewport.
-Direct support of Cinema 4D material channel displacement. Following types of options supported height(C4D) maps to height in Maxwell Render Studio, Strength(C4D) multiplies Height, and if negative, inverts the texture. Supported values of Type(C4D): Intensity and Intensity(Centered).

-Cinema4D lights can now be grouped under a null or any object.
-Cinema 4D Instances are now supported as Maxwell Render Instances - See new plug-in manual for how to use them.
-Direct Rendering of HDRI from Cinema 4D using Cinema 4D Sky object with normal material and luminance channel activated. See new plug-in manual for values to be used for Cinema 4D channel intensity values.
-Updated 12/05/07!- Fixed instances bug with setPivot.
-Updated 12/05/07!- Fixed motion blur. Vertices were in the wrong place in the second step.

New Plug-in for Maxwell Render for Cinema 4D: "Import Maxwell Materials". In the Plugins->Maxwell menu, press the button,
choose the folder and it will recursively parse all the files and folders under it and create the corresponding Cinema-Maxwell
materials in the material manager. This plugin will convert Maxwell Render materials to Cinema 4D Maxwell Render materials.
