Does anybody know the status of Maxwell Render? Has V-Ray assassinated Maxwell?

I have a seat of Maxwell, I tried it a few times but I’ve found it sooooo slow that the results that created really just didn’t matter. Their licensing scheme was also stupid IMO.

Maxwell development is very slow especially after many developers left the team. i see Maverick render (old name Arion render) and now support GPU only and looks very fast

Definitely not dead! I tried out the integration of Maxwell v5 in Rhino mac v6. Faster speed, better integration, easier workflow. I will definitely upgrade my license of Maxwell to v5!

I don’t think it is a replacement for Maxwell, is it?
