giacob: I don't have a botton for uploading anything thank you very much. Try an 'adult' site for such requests.

my english is bad.. but i meant that in rc1 there was a button for putting bitmaps and now ther is not anymore

anyway, an uploadfunction would be nice for material sharing

Maximus3D, the readme text after installing this version is the same as the one for RC2. The date even says 05.12

I downloaded the files dated today as previous post in this topic.
Was unable to load existing mxs file from previous version of RC2 so recreated it.These are the results. I added glass to second release of RC2 and changed material of paint (probably stuffed it) Same emitters in both.
Render times the same
Do I have to download RC3 later today then???????very confusing
First post early version of RC1

RC2 later version

WestCAD: RC3 is not there yet. I hope it isn't anyway because the image you posted shows no improvement to the core render engine - sploggy, flat and jaggled appearance.

The model is pretty rough. It could do with smoothing. I think the odd appearance to mudguard is because I tried metallic paint but it doesn't work on the facets.....Do you think they may have updated the web before they loaded the files??????

no idea, but each new update has always been announced by victor (ot tom). i can't see no announcement yet, so...

Either wait for an official announcement or wait till the download page says RC3 + Dec. 7

[cyberjuls]

Yep let's wait this afternoon.

To see if there is a difference between two files, you can easily use a MD5-checksumm tool, e.g. http://www.virtualand.de/dl/md5sum100.zip .

Both RC2-versions (5th december and 7th december) have the same checksum so they are definitely the same version of the programm...

MD5 checksum of "G:\download\Render\maxwell\05-12-05_RC2\maxwell.exe" :
94 fb 90 14 00 e1 3f bc 0e d6 85 06 c6 d2 4c 43

MD5 checksum of "G:\download\Render\maxwell\07-12-05_RC2\maxwell.exe" :
94 fb 90 14 00 e1 3f bc 0e d6 85 06 c6 d2 4c 43

Sorry Max, I read the post earlier and like a fool checked the download page. Thought it was strange there was no announcement. Not putting much credence on version or release nos. going by today's date I thought beauty theres an update. I think software is like cars and wives the later the model the better she goes, so I downloaded it.
Sorry.
