Yes, the interface provides some controls to pick latitude, longitude, day, hour, GMT, etc. for the sky. There is a sky preview in real time in the viewports, a 3D Earth to pick the location directly and see shadow zones. The viewport also shows the direction of the sun in the compass.
yes, could be very interresting, some cheat to vary the athmosphere and thus the color of the sky3dtrialpractice wrote: -ps small detail in question. would an elevation above sea level make sence to have? since should there be less atmospere the higher the elvation hence, a deeper bluer/blackish sky? what are other ppls opinion on this? I know that Hervé had also requested this..
maybe a poct rc5 addition?
the new sky system sounds very nice so far and if a moon is implemented then i don't know what to say hehe. Maybe we get to see a tasty testrendering of the new physical sky in action soon or.. ? 
-I will post a animaion very soon that I've worked done at first back in september, then i had to work on other projects, now over xmas I had gon back an revamped the animaion still using beta engine, I render at 720x540 (sq pixls) and I wont let my frames render for more than 40min, I've found that I reach 11 sample in about 22-25min and thats where ive been rendeing too 11 samples, becasue withan animation (its an outdoor animation) anything over 11 samples just reduces noise in shodows, and for this animaiton where my camera is moving almost constantly you cant see the difference in motion between something rendered at16 smpls compared to something rendered at 11 sampls, so ive been very please at rendering 1 frame at 25min a frame. for the quality i get with maxwell, and also because i dont have to spend time compositing many different render layers. I've tried to use motion blur, but i do render with alpha and motion blur just totally messes up the alpha channel right now, so all my motion blur is done in post.LarsSon wrote:Actually, i'm going to use Maxwell for animations only. That's why
i really hope they will get mblur and animation rendering working.
And network rendering aswell. Must thing to have.
Usually i don't need to render large images. Pal reso 720x576 will
be just fine for me for tv commercials. So if i can get Maxwell rendering
Pal frames in speed like 30min/frame, that's all i need. There is no other
renderer able to do that with this quality.
And i really would like to see that good old bounce control back. In some
cases it could speedup rendering so much, without noticeable difference.

No, he said about a gazillion times that he just set them to render over night. His computer can't determine the prettiness and then cancel the renders by itself while he's sleeping. People around here are addicted to negativity like a drug. You'll go through withdrawal symptoms if a good renderer is given to you.It looks like the spheres in a box were 4 - 8 hour renders, so perhaps not.
I don't need a globe. Just make sure that Buttzville, NJ is an option.Ernest Burden wrote:Cinema4D's sun/sky system has the moon and stars, and a realtime preview, but no globe to click on. I certainly look forward to an easier to use Maxwell version.
So this realtime preview in the viewport does it allow me to transform itvictor wrote:Mike is serious on NDA considerations, thank you.

Yep its great if your doing sun studies, but most of the timemverta wrote:Yes. You control it by moving around the 3D Earth... little hard to describe. You'll see. And a lot of architectural visualizers tend to find those stupid latitude and longitude coordinates useful from time to time.
