Maxwell and reference files, a whole new way of rendering
-
I am using Maxwell with the reference files now for a while and it opens up a whole new way of rendering with Sketchup.
Not only does Maxwell do references but also network rendering and has very easy access to rebus renderfarm.
I am including examples here . Modeled in Sketchup is the interior and lighting. The teapot, fruit and flowers I got from DesignConnected. They are placed in Sketchup as mxs-reference files.
I can use several other computers over a network and so I can keep on working while my renders are being processed at two other systems. All managed by the computer I work with.
Anyhow, the reference system has completely changed the way I work now. I use Sketchup to set up the basic interior or building and use Sketchup as a tool to place reference files to make the model for rendering complete.
Very quick to do. And my files in Sketchup are small and very fast and contain just simple geometry. No longer these long list of materials that slow down working in Sketchup. The reference files do not import the materials into Sketchup itself other than one needed to show the reference proxy in Sketchup.
I can render the most complicated models since Maxwell itself is actually not much strained by large amounts of geometry.
Well, it all works rather flawlessly thanks to a very well concieved plugin.
