Hi My name is Bernardo, I work for FKA Australia. I have been testing the Maxwell for Archicad the last month and I have to say I am very impressed with the results. Setting up the materials straight from AC is a great work flow (better than using reference files from Artlantis). Speed was really an issue until I unchecked all Caustic settings.. this really made things go much faster.
Congratulations for the Maxwell team.
I do have a few questions though:
1- Is it possible to have an image with the AC sun as the main Light source but also have Image based reflections? When I tried using IBL it overrides the sun setting and I comes out as soft shadows like in a overcast day.
2-How do we set up a invisible light source without having to open MXS (straight from AC)?
3-Any chance of creating a manual sun? I do not want to change the North settings just to get a better render...
4-Is it possible to set DOF from AC?
5-At the moment, the plugin does not read Archicad 3D element Filter (story range, marquee and element types), so everything that has been modeled on negative stories are exported to the MXS. This is really important to be resolved because instead of rendering straight from the current file, we have to save a copy and delete all unnecessary elements to be able to render...
Looking forward to hear from you guys
Gracias
