Iwan,
Welcome to the Community

Brodie,
I probably had that problem since at some time or the other I had most of them and still do occasionally.
Wellcome to the Maxwell club, a little annoying and frustrating program at times . If You have problem with swaping materials wait till You get to swaping textures. Anyway it is very difficult to say what could be causing the problem. My advice to You is to go Maxwell for Sketch Up part of the Maxwell forum here:
http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=18&sid=a21ca07a1b3aee19c7ddf43004c8081d
And when you read through all the relevant threads. You will find many similar cases and reading through them you will probably find your answer. If not you can always ask .

Mufakka,
You can increase your circle segments in SU and thus making it smoother for rendering.
When you draw your circle click on its circumference go to entity info >segments and
Insert the new value inside the box, maximum is 100.
I don’t know about other podium rendering issues that cause such behavior because
I don’t use it but there is probably someone here on the forum that can give you
advice on that.

Dirkkkk,
I had a look at Your site and those top interior presentations are one of the best
I have ever seen, they are just amazing.

I`d just started my one small company, so thats ware the site is for. I only need a client now unfortunately thats not so easy.

You are so right here . From My own experience I can tell You that it took me Years to get some good regular clients maybe 5-6 of them that pay 80% of my bills. So its a big world out there but they are not exactly hurling in.

Great looking images, well done.

Great work Ivica and nice to see you back.
Mateo.

Great images.Well done Ambotnimo.
But there is something about Vray that I dont like.
I know many are not going to agree with me but the
colours are a bit flat ,unreal. I dont mean on these
images but it is a consistent thing with Vray.

'wait a couple of moths'

I think I have waited too long already. One went and the two I am left with are dying
under my graphic pressure. The thing is I have some spare money at the moment and in few months I may not have. I use a lot of graphic applications Maxwell, Corel, Photoshop. I basically just need a list to take to my computer shop and say I want this.
Any suggestions or lists that would be good for me?

Fletch,
Great work as usual. Love to see Your images.

I just got rid of one of my old computers and need to order a new one. I am not exactly a hardware expert so I would need some tips on building my new configuration.

HFM:
The top left toolbar is the latest version of 'Maxwell Render' plugin, 1.7 i believe

Yes , Sorry the conversation went in a different direction.

Great find, Urgen!
Pity about shadows.

@unknownuser said:

Looks like a very nice project you've got going on there!

If You really want the truth , I didnt mention that I had a project going on either , but then You assumed that , so Why didnt You assume the fact that I in a most friendly manner want to share some information with the community. Never mind.
