Shaderlight vs Maxwell
-
Hello, can anyone tell me what the difference in quality and render time there is between Shaderlight 2.1 pro and Maxwell for Sketchup licensed.
Thanks

I don't use either, but shaderlight is biased and maxwell is unbiased. This basically means that maxwell will calculate the lighting much more realistically/accurately but will take longer to produce a clear/un-grainy image. Biased engines like shaderlight are quick but wont be as instantly realistic (then again if you know what you're doing you can get great images out of both)

Haven't used shaderlight, but I use maxwell a lot and I love it...
(I guess that makes me biased too....
)
Renders do take a long time, but then again you also save time with an easy and intuitive scene setup (imho).... -
I made a quick test of Shaderlight 2.0 and Maxwell for SU along with a few other apps a while ago:
