It might be nice to write a plugin for Maxwell that do this :
- Maxwell emergency deluxe 1.0 :
If nothing happen after xx secondes ( setup by the user ), then Vray take over the rendering process and finishing everything in a clock turn of the CPU, and also render a 30fps animation just for fun..and then Outlook send a post on Ebay to sell your Maxwell license.
- Maxwell heating 1.0 :
While Maxwell render ( usually takes a couple of month for a highres ), then you can use the heat produce by the CPU to warm your house.
- Maxwell coffee machine :
Just plug your old coffee machine on your computer and while rendering Maxwell can also make coffee for you ( anyway, he has the time to do it)
- Maxwell family portrait :
Maxwell can take picture of your children growing, while rendering…it’s also working with all sort of timelaps experiment ( see cactus growing, plants …)
tired…other Idea ?
:lol: :lol: …I’m on the floor…I can’t stop laghing 
I like the heating idea…could save up on heating bills..

:lol: :lol:
Maybe another good idea: Maxwell Wine 0.1 alpha:
- put some grapes in a bottle and enjoy your wine after the render has finished :!:
Now i get it !
When i order Maxwell, i also receive a baby cow…that’s for the cheese when the render is finished ! ok…i get it ! … you were saying ? does it works for 60 years old wisky ?
Maxwell is so slow that it can even freeze time for a while
and go backwards in time to year 2000,
meets the millenium bug,
and then crash.
other feature of Maxwell : real time rendering on floppy disk
when you press render, you have to ask to your child to check the image
ok…tired…
good night
you guys are definately uninteresting fanboys
- you DON’T understand the point of this renderer
- you CAN’T compare it to vray or *put your renderer here*
and finally, and most importantly :
- you DON’T NEED this renderer, it can’t serve your needs, but you buy it anyway. think twice next time, $400 is a lot of money for those who don’t have $1 to eat everyday.
sorry if i feel angry but it’s really boring to see that kind of behavior. this does not help you, maxwell team and of course this does not help vray team at all. saying loud that maxwell sucks on vray forum will not make you a better vray user.
cheers
Common finish,
We were just making a bit fun at the end of a working day, I don’t see that would do any harm
I think Maxwell render has some very strong points. It is a pity that they will not release a demo version before the final release.
p.s. what do you mean by ‘you buy it anyway’? who has besides Chris, who isn’t making fun of Maxwell at all?
Hey…yes ! come on … finish…it’s just fun !
you know : :lol:
Like Gijs says, it’s a pity that no demo has been done since now !

well angryboy :x :x
-we are not trying to compare, but you have to agree that for production
you can’t use a render thats render for hours and hours…!!!
and what is the point of this renderer… wiseguy and why you can’t compare it to vray??? i haven’t seen yet an image that we cant’t make i vray and faster so…
well we are not ignorent we are just trying to be professionals. sorry.
and maybe maxwell can serve our needs… but a demo you can’t download. so ya you have to buy it strange for someone how is thinking that his renderer is better than the rest!!!
with regards to vray users
i think there is a place for a slow hi end renderer.
we don’t need another vray/brazil/fr renderer do we?
if it takes one night to reach the quality of the pics in the gallery then that’s ok for me.
i wont always be able to use it but for some jobs it might be interesting, if the workflow isn’t too annoying.
ok, here some statements from me, WHY we bought an alpha-version of an
new renderer…
first of all, I love testing different render engines…
I started with FR, then switched to VRAY (this was 1 1/2 vear ago), I tested MR in the new MAX6 version last year, I did some test with brazil (as slow as maxwell, I think!!)…and the don´t forget lightscape
ok, 399 bucks for a alpha-version software is much money! but look at Vray, the 1.5 version is still in beta stadium too, no comments from vlado and co when it will be ready, and I paid 799 $ for Vray
advanced!
I think, the maxwell-team does a good job, the support is very friendly!
they work on a speed acceleration, I will make some test, then the beta version comes out…
you can grumble and make jokes, maxwell releases the final version, and then, you can compare vray 1.5 (I hope, that it will be released next year :roll: ) with maxwell 1.0
greetings
chris
p.s. sorry for my bad english, you know the newest pisa-study results from germany? 8)
but look at Vray, the 1.5 version is still in beta stadium too, no comments from vlado and co when it will be ready, and I paid 799 $ for Vray
advanced!
Well, i think you going to start a few people going on this one…but heres bacially what they will tell you. You did not pay $800 for 1.5, you paid $800 for 1.0, and the small releases through 1.1 Vray 1.1 never was release in an official manner, but all the features that you were supposed to get with 1.1 (minus DR, but thats a whole topic by itself) are there. You are getting 1.5 free, Chaos didnt have to give your 1.5, or 1.1, but they choose to.
I think people are taking this thread the wrong way. Posts are having fun with a beta/first release that is a little slow. Its all in good fun. And they all probably understand that it will get faster.
I think most people here, just wonder why they released a slow (but accurate) renderer, with no demo, and expect people to pay for it. Most people like to mess around with a product, run it, see how it fits into thier production pipeline. but with maxwell, you have a renderer that seems to be alot slower, and the same price. This is why it is funny
(hope this babble makes sense, it does in my head :? )

finish, chill out, man…take a cold shower or something
as Gijs mentioned, we’re just playing around at the end of the working day…but the key point, the fact that is still dog slow, still remains…and therefore it seems unusable in most realistic production deadlines…
paul.
we just gotta wait, ofcourse it will get faster next year… with the help of quadrothreading 128bit CPUs
:lol: :lol: :lol: …yeah they are just waitng for the hardware to catch up to them..hehe

the real question is, if the wine will not turn to vineyard before vray v1.5 is released. 8)
i think we have enough betas to play with not?
let them do their work and wait fo the final and polished product.
im sure my boss will buy this when it´s finished.
but he is tired of doing the endless betatest we are doing right now, so he sure will not pay for doing betatests for another company.
the real question is, if the wine will not turn to vineyard before vray v1.5 is released.
I am on the floor…
I think maxwell produces the best GI images i’ve ever seen. It is slow, but they’re developing multiplatform/networked renderer just from start, and i think render times on 20-60 cpu renderfarms will be just ok.
Also i think that this noise makes image looking more like scanned film. It’s hard to composite, but this quality is acceptable for some works, there’s some style in it.
well the brazil beta was the same way. slow and grainy…when the fishes removed the grain the people asked for it back… :roll:
