Hello Maxwell renderers!

We released HDR Light Studio 4 today - it comes in a single edition with all features and connectivity - plus at an affordable price point for more users. The new LightPaint feature enables lighting artists to click in the rendered view directing the light to the exact location where it is needed on their models. Slashing the time taken to light a 3D scene and enabling the precise placement of lighting and reflections.

See it in action here with KeyShot, but exactly the same process can be used with Maxwell Studio or with our new Live plug-in for Maya where instant lighting updates are passed to the Maxwell FIRE view. http://vimeo.com/49753201

We lit this shot in Maxwell Studio using HDR Light Studio 4 in only a few minutes, we’ll make a video of this process soon for Maxwell Studio users to see.



Do check out our new web site for full information, and all the new compatibility: http://www.hdrlightstudio.com

Compatibility note: As of now Maxwell Studio on the Mac doesn't support the HDR Light Studio 4 Mac edition, but we hear compatibility is on its way! But right now you can use HDR Light Studio 4 Mac edition with Maya and Maxwell FIRE!

Great info ! I´m lucky now, that the mac version is available !

Is the interface of HDR Light Studio in Maxwell Studio also available ?

Best,

Then please consider it as feedback that us small shop guys would love to have the option. I'd pay a small premium for a float license and/or a fee for the server.

Hi dmeyer, please do email us at sales@hdrlightstudio.com, to discuss your needs! You have seen the new prices? HDR Light Studio 4 is half the price for a node locked seat at $499. This includes all plug-ins to Maxwell Studio, KeyShot, Maya, etc

since there has no mail arrived yet, that would show how to update from v3 pro, i'd like to have a quick question here:
are the hdi-files generated with v3 usable with v4? and if so, do they render the exact same output when used with v4, so that there will be no difference in the images that are being rendered eventually?
thx.

Files from v3 can be opened in v4 yes with exactly the same results

Files from v4 can't be opened in v3
