Lights in free Maxwell Render?

Kreativ3D

Hi!

Is sun the only source of light in the free version of Maxwell Render? Isn't there any spotlights or similar for interior rendering?

You have also emitter in the Materials and IBL (HDRI)in the enviroment tab and I saw no restriction for IES lightsources in the Plugin documentation.
Have you seen the tutorials from Jason at the maxwell site?

Thanks for the reply! I have just discovered the free Maxwell Render and I have just looked at some of Jasons videos. But I'm note sure is any of them is about lights. I have to check them later. Where do I find the IES lightsources?

From this thread, there should be some with the Plugin.
