Maxwell Render | Official public forum

I am trying to render an orthographic camera view with z clipping planes from Maxwell Studio and it does not render correctly. It renders just black like nothings there and just zips through the SL's. Once I turn off the z clipping planes, it renders the orthographic camera. If I render the 3d view with z clipping planes on, it renders as it should.

Hmmm, maybe Z-clip and Ortho is not supported. A workaround (which I use from Max all the time) is to make a 3D camera that is very far away from the subject and zoom in tight. It won't be a perfect ortho, but will be close if your camera is far enough away to reduce the perspective. Z-clip should work then.

I got it to work. I had to create the camera in MW Studio. Then I was able to set up a true orthographic view.
