Hello everyone,
I am glad to announce that we now officially support Maxwell Render 3! It means that we can render:
- Maxwell 3 cooperative projects
- 3ds Max 2012 to 2014 animations with Maxwell 3 as renderer
- Maya 2012 to 2014 animations with Maxwell 3 as renderer
- Cinema 4D R11.5 to R15 animations with Maxwell 3 as renderer
Please note that we still accept and support Maxwell 2.7 cooperative projects.
There is a new version of RANCHecker (2.00), for PC and Mac, that you'll need to estimate and prepare your Maxwell 3 projects. If you are still running Maxwell 2, do not download this new version and keep RANCHecker 1.70. Please note that the automated online update won't work between 1.70 and 2.0, so you'll have to download 2.0 from the site. It will work again for future versions > 2.0.
You will notice that we have a new integrated benchmark to RANCHecker 2.0. It has a nice scene done by Roch from http://www.maxwellrender.fr. The integrated benchmark will help you determine the performance delta between your system and the Ranch, and thus help you estimate the time and cost of your projects.
Finally we have included a CPU detection function to the Mac version of RANCHecker, same as the PC version. So if you have a Mac, you'll know in a second what CPU(s) you have, at what frequency, with how many render threads available.
Enjoy!
Fred
