October 13th, 2006 - Improvements list
 
  • Maxwell rendering ArchiCAD add-on is fully integrated with ArchiCAD as an optional PhotoRendering engine. All Maxwell related parameters are integrated into PhotoRendering Settings dialog of ArchiCAD and they are available as soon as Maxwell is selected as an ArchiCAD's preffered rendering engine.

  • In addition to automatic conversion of ArchiCAD materials there is a support for Maxwell MXM (file based) materials integrated into ArchiCAD. MXM material can be associated with ArchiCAD material (interface is part of Material settings dialog) allowing to utilize the full power of Maxwell materials directly in ArchiCAD. ArchiCAD's Material settings dialog also allows easy direct access to Maxwell native material editor (MXED) - thus Maxwell materials can be created right from there.

  • Maxwell add-on provides a full access to all Maxwell rendering parameters from PhotoRendering Settings dialog:

      • Engine parameters: project directory, scene name, image type, render time, multilight support.

      • Camera parameters: shutter speed, F stop, ISO, film width and height, pixel aspect ratio,
      diaphragm, number of blades, angle.

      • Environment attributes: sky dome (intensity, color is taken from ArchiCAD's background),
      physical sky (project location, date/time, turbidity, ozone, water)

      • Layers/Channels: channels - render, alpha, zbuffer, objectID, materialID, layers - direct, indirect, direct reflection, direct refraction, indirect reflection, rindirect refraction.

      • HDRI parameters: background, illumination, reflection, refraction.

  • ArchiCAD 9 and ArchiCAD 10 are supported.
