Hehe, thanks Joop!

Well, I have been stuck on writing my script for Maya->Indigo renderer. This project is not done- and I am NOT abandoning it.

Excellent work matt the man - the render has come out nice - just a bit more color to contrast with the main color and this will look really cool.

Hey, haven't updated in a while, but I gave Maxwell Demo a try. It's alright, I think... but slooow. Not as slow as Indigo user added image

Materials need a LOT of work. 1 hour 15 minute render. SL 13.15

Im gonna have a tiled hardwood flooring. I'm probably gonna finish this thing in Maxwell (Max->Indigo is broken or something, and my script can't handle the 300,000 triangles :p).

Anyway... the watermark aint bad at all, I dont mind it.

Later,

looks like the trial is really working well, does it work forever? or 30 days or sumthin?

You will love Maxwell after awhile!:attn:

Trial works 'till I mow the lawn of neighbors enough to afford an educational license user added image

I already love it. The Material Editor is really intuitive, and it's really easy to set up complex materials (not quoted).

Also, I LOVE the -ml (multilight) feature. Wow. Sorry Indigo- Maxwell's here :p

I'm currently rendering a lamp scene (modified studio setup)... and the -ML setting really helps a LOT!!!!!.

I'll probably post it here later.

[edit] but what really bothers me is the artificial noise that is persistent 'till past SL 10 or (in extreme DOF, like I'm doing) to SL 12. [/edit]

oh... lol, actually everyone's saying that 1.0 can't get the quality of Beta (everyone at www.maxwellrender.com/forum). Soo... you might be lucky. I still like 1.0 though. Great material editor...

The watermark kinda kills the whole render.

I can't look at something in your render without looking back at the watermark.

It'll be nice if you can afford it soon.

While we're here:

Those chair seats aren't looking too convincing to me. They look as if they almost have no thickness to em and would break on me if I sat down.

Unless they're made of steel which would be pretty uncomfortable, I would add some more thickness to em.
