I of course am very interested, though I feel a bit uneasy donating significant amounts of money, to someone I don't know...

Donation will happen when you will be totally certain about the job. More news will follow.

For me the most important feature would be animation support, whether this is directly from whithin blender, or the ability to export a series of mxm's. Consequences of this feature, would be the need for:

- being able to apply maxwell materials to objects in blender(maxwell reference materials would be fine, though I'd like to be able to use animated textures as well, so than that would be problematic).
is included in the basic plan
- being able to set camera and render settings from whithin blender
is included in the basic plan
- being able to export all animation, no matter what type (skeletal, shape, vertex...)
NOT included in the basic plan: basic animation will be included (object moving, exporting mxm per frame). I'll ask the coders how can this be done.

Thank you,
Riccardo

More good-news will follow soon...

Hi there,

Would we be able to use blenders compositor for our Maxwell renderings? And take advantage of Blenders render layer and multi pass interface?

Thanks,

Aaron

[Rickyx]

No, currently the add-on is an exporter from blender to Maxwell and get nothing back.
You will be able (as you are now) to save exr multilayer from Maxwell and import in Blender compositor having separate channels.

I got a huge scene ( 6Mpoly of mesh, nurbs, clones, dupliverts, ecc... ) exported correctly: just wait little more and good news will follow.

Happy Blending in the meanwhile,
Rickyx

[Asmithey]

Sounds great!! I can always wait for good news. Thanks for your hard work on this!!!

Any news on the development of the plug-in?

[Rickyx]

Ok people,
I'm getting married with a beautiful girl this week.
After that, as you may imagine, I'll leave Italy for some weeks.

I'm sorry you have to wait but I'm sure you understand that I have something better to do
See you soon with a splendid Blender-Exporter!

Ciao,
Ricky

[Rickyx]

Oh, yeah. I get it. The old "I can't finish the Blender plugin because I'm getting married" excuse. Under the thumb... You need to get your priorities right and delay this wedding.

I'm joking, of course (I don't even use Blender ), congratulations and good luck on the big day!

[Rickyx]

40 hours still...
Thank you people...

Congratulations Ricky ! Thanks for your dedication to this project, and for sharing this positive event !

[m-Que]

Hey, Congratulations!
And as soon as you're back we're gonna have 'Maxwell+Blender' wedding

[Asmithey]

Yes, Congratulations...

What are you going to name the exporter...BlendWell, MaxBlend? Also, will we be able export strand particles?
Don't feel obligated to respond unlit you are settled in. I have a test scene you can use for development. Here is a blender render of it..





Thanks,

Aaron
