I’ve been using Maxwell for quite a long time. They’ve basically dropped Rhino plugin development and support. No indication it’s coming back.
We’re setting up a new team member and I don’t want them to waste their time and energy learning Maxwell.
For workflow reasons, renderers that require exporting a “finished” model from Rhino to a separate package for material assignment and view composition is out.
Looking for suggestions for a new rendering package. Ideal features:
- Rhino plugin for V6 available and actually usable.
- Physically correct, PBR materials etc.
- Real-time preview.
- Farm-based online rendering service available.
- Some kind of turn-key water simulation. (Like Mawell’s sea extension, huge benefit)
- Simple to use, ideally camera analog like Maxwell. (Not into tweaking arbitrary or mysterious values)
- Something like Maxwell multi-light. (Render once, output several lighting variations.)
Basically I want Maxwell to make a V6 plugin, but doesn’t seem like that’s going to happen… So we’re jumping ship. Looking for suggestions.
