      Hi,
      I have become a bit of a fan for Maxwell, and thought I let the people here know there is good news to share.

      JD Hill has finished his new plugin for Maxwell, and posted the manual for it, http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=34736
      and I suppose it will be available for download any time soon (but not yet).

      Then the new version 2.1 of Maxwell seems a good update taking care of many minor issues. The new plugin seems to provide for a well concieved UI within SU. It looks like a major achievement.

      Nl, the makers of Maxwell have a 50% discount promotion with just a day left ( they won a ballgame ).

      I added a recent image of a kind of rendering I do lot lately, scalemodel renders. Very easy to set up and update when there are design changes.

        Nice - I've always liked that style of illustrating block models. πŸ˜„ πŸ‘

          Hi Thom,
          that was actually the model I wanted your vertex plugin for.
          I will buy your plugin as soon as I get a job for another shape to form. Your plugin does look great and I like your site as well. Plugin writers have taken over main stream CAD ... πŸ˜„

          I think JD Hill has done an unbelievable job for the SU to Maxwell plugin. We had been waiting for it almost half a year but it seems well worth the wait.

            I second this -- the new plugin looks like it will be really outstanding... and for 50% off I can't imagine a better time to take the plunge.

            Nice render BTW, Francois.

            Here's a very different one from Maxwell by me to show Maxwell's versatility:

            Best,

              well Jason, that does make Maxwell look very versitile.
              But is that modelled with SU ? I no longer can tell since SU is such plugined package these days.

              Just bought another standard license (upgrade) voor 173 euro's. Now at the office we no longer need to check who of the 2 is on Maxwell. And imagine, if we Dutch had won.... would have cost me 173 euros as well .... πŸ˜„

                His board and energy ball/blast are in Sketchup -- figure in ZBrush... which is one of the many reasons why I think it is important to have access to a stand-alone editor like Maxwell Studio in your rendering package.

                      Hi, I just made a new website with our work, all renders done with Maxwell, models made with Sketchup and Modo.
                      There are some models we actually made at real scale, actual timber, stones and so on...

                      We use sketchup for anything regular and straigthforward, Modo for organic shapes. Vectorworks is our choice for 2D drawing. It also does 3D but that's something of the past. The UI of Vectorworks is useless considering these days developments in 3D cad. I used to model all our 3D work in MiniCad and later Vectorworks.

                      The link to our website is here, I made it with iWeb.
