Quote - Did i mention that Maxwell Materials and renders are incredibly simple to set up?
Uhmmm...well, that´s not entirely true i´m afraid. The simplicity of setting up a scene is solely based on what type of scene you´re trying to render. 10-20 objects is one thing, but when you have a couple of thousand objects, which i consider a normal scene, Maxwell and its armada of unexplained error messages is a f'''''g nightmare, and you´ll most likely need 3-5 times the amount of time than normally to finish up the scene.
If you´re going to use Maxwell, SAVE OFTEN and save separate backups, because anyone of those errors can corrupt the scene file.
I´m not even going into the materials part. That editor was designed by the village idiot and i really couldn´t hate it more. Probably why i always use C4D materials...
Love the lighting though. :)
