Maxwell - not rendering ortho view totally parallel?

[nickdk]

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

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.

Thanks Jason,

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

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.
