Maxwell Render 2.0 and Sketchup 7

mbernhardt4 · 15 Mar 2010, 03:14

Does anyone know the best way to match up a Sketchup scene and Maxwell Camera? I want to export out pieces in Sketchup and pieces in Maxwell to merge in Photoshop but i need a exact match in views.
Thanks, Mac

I'd also like to find a way to achieve this.
Any help please

"show render area" in the Maxwell plugin camera options doesn't do it for you?

The only issue I would have at that point is getting the resolution to match.

I'm on PC so it may be different.

Best,
Jason.

You need to step back a little with your SU camera and then
click the "show render area" from the MXW plugin. You'll probably
see two greyed bars appear on your screen. They are either on both sides
of the screen on at bottom and top.
Now make a new SU scene (e.g. scene 1) from this view. Export to MXW.
You'll find the scene as a camera with the name scene 1 with the exact
position as the SU camera.

Hope this helps!
