    Thumbs up Maxwell Render Plugin for Revit

    Just recieved a note back from MR about a Revit Plugin. I guess our voting payed off:

    Dear Mr. Jager,



    The Autodesk Revit plugin is definitely in our plans but it will take some more time to be ready for release. I would love to be able to give you a specific date but I can only say that we hope that it will be within this year. However, if you use another 3D platform that we already support, you could get Maxwell now at a very low price and start using MX with that platform and then switch to Revit as soon as the plugin is released. I am at your entire disposal for any other query you may have. Thank you for your continued support.
    Best regards,

    Maya Velásquez Watanabe

    Answer me this!
    Does a Revit Plug-in mean that I could go from Revit to MR without requiring Viz, or something else?

    Yes... Maxwell is pretty cool.

    http://www.maxwellrender.com/

    I like the idea of getting in on the introductory price, but I'm not so keen on plunking down $400-$500 for a plug-in that I can't try out... any ideas how the plug-in will interface with Revit?

    Thats fantastic, I presume the plug-in would either replace or option for AccuRender ? From previous reading I thought MR was a command line run app. Hopefully it would be a graphic user interface.

    Unless there are changes coming from Autodesk I don't think you'll see Maxwell as a replacement for accurender. The 'plugin' is a maxwell plugin. So either Maxwell are intending to parse the DWG for the accurender material info or they can get enough from the API. The API option certainly gets you closer to an integrated workflow but I'm not sure the current API offers enough detail for accurate material mapping.

    The problem for maxwell is the material definition is unlike most renderers. Hence the lack of material preview in MAX.

    but I'm not so keen on plunking down $400-$500 for a plug-in that I can't try out.
    Today's your last day for getting Maxwell for $395. Then it's going to be $495. They've already said the next release is >4x faster. You're welcome to wait until the plugin is available by which time Maxwell will be $995 I haven't regretted my choice

    Guy,

    How are you currently using MR, I presume you need a rendering app to use it; what are you using?
