      I have a strange problem where Maxwell doesn't render the ortho camera as 100% straight on, like it's set at 0,5degree FOV or something?

      I hope someone can help πŸ˜„

      I'm talking about the plugin btw

        Maxwell is not capable of rendering true ortho views -- the Maxwell camera always exists in perspective so the plugin tries it's best to "mimic" the ortho input, but cannot recreate it with absolute fidelity.

        Best,
        Jason.

        I create video tutorial series about several 2D & 3D graphics programs.

          Thanks Jason,

          Bad news! But I haven't noticed before now so Maxwell must be doing it right sometimes πŸ˜„

              Maybe you can have a look at twilight render or renderin 2 for this purpose..

                Importing the scene to Maxwell Studio does give better results with the built in semi ortho cameras.
