Next Limit Technologies has announced the release of Maxwell Render Suite version 2.7 as a free update for Maxwell Render Version 2 customers. It includes a number of additions, improvements and fixes, according to the company.

Version 2.7 includes Maxwell Grass, a new grass generator, which allows users to quickly create grass on a selected piece of geometry. The solution is designed to offer maximum control over the look of the grass, from detail on close-up shots to fast rendering further away from the camera. It is compatible with Maxwell Studio and almost all supported plugins

File sizes up to 4x smaller are supported with the new compression system for MXI files, and the solution includes a new 3D vectorial displacement type for RealFlow displacement.

The  Maxwell Render Suite includes a series of standalone tools for Windows, Mac and Linux and FREE plugins for more than 15 CAD/3D and post production platforms.
