Maxwell Renderer

I just downloaded the demo version of Maxwell Renderer, but I cant figure out how to load up my scene as to render it? Help would be great.


Yay, not a freshman anymore!

Sorry but I've never seen maxwell in action. You might want to check out their website and see if they have any tutorials there that might help you.

NextLimit do provide free tutorials from their site that give an overview of Maxwell. Personally, I say stick with MR (Mental Ray). Its faster and can produce the same results, with a little more tweaking. MR is an industry standard and therefore if you are going forward to look at a career in 3D, then practice MR (esp in the VFX industry).

Alan, I believe one of Framestores main Renderers is MR?

it's used in our TV and longform departments. Not really for film though. We have prman for that user added image if you wan to work in industry I would learn a renderman compliant renderer e.g. Air user added image

Hey Alan!
I read on the MR site a big list of hollywood movies.
On the PixarRM site I read nearly the same list.

I got 2 queries:
1.So, who decides which renderer for which shot of the same movie?
2.Which are the renderers compatible with prman apart from air?
3.How do I get started learning Prman?

Thanks.
