is there a flash option for Maya? Coz iv looked everywhere and i cant find it.

Also can HDRI be used in Maxwell? if so how?

1. Do a search and you'll find hundreds of flash threads, just use a single polygon ( not so big, try to imitate real proportions) up to the camera (check normals for light direction) and play with the emitter's options (Power, Radiance,etc)

2.Same, if you do a search you'll find thousands, just convert your HDRIs with Maxwell viewer into MXI , and map it in your emitter (always check normals)
