Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Please let me know if there is interest in a series of modeling/render or short challenges. I realize there are quite a few problems currently with our plugin but there are some things we can achieve at the moment.

The goal would be to create some shared learning experiences and techniques as they relate to cinema 4d and maxwell render.

I like the idea, too. However, delivering a functioning beta for us OS X guys is primary. I have to devote my complete machine to Maxwell to render longer than 5 minutes (so it can render a few hours until the crash).
It's just outrageous that they are not able to fix a couple of crash bugs in 2 weeks of time. If I'm sound angry, then because I am. We had a pretty stable alpha, got a beta after weeks of waiting that was not tested at all and now there were no updates for 2 weeks.

I think waiting until the OSX patch release is unleased makes the most perfect sense.

If you have some topics you would prefer for this kind of activity please voice them here as well.

They could be very realistic challenges to the very far reaching limits of conceptual ideas.

I am thinking of things like, studio lighting challenge, using existing models and render them with Maxwell Render (everyone gets the same model- no changes); conceptual rendering challenges, and so on.

A couple of ideas:
Macro - Show something small
Underwater - Create underwater cam and underwater scene
Candle light dinner - Show a diner table just lit by candles
The Hall - visualize big spaces - to have fog would be a plus for this
Skin & Cloth - interplay between diffusion & SSS
The forrest - more or less abstract view into a forrest full of trees

Soo mch to render, so little time...
Cheers
