Next Limit Technologies has released version 2 of Maxwell Render to the general public. For the last few weeks, version 2 has been only available for existing clients who were upgrading.
The new version brings a number of new features, enhancements, and additions to Maxwell Render:
- Improvements in speed and noise reduction with optimizations in caustics, emitters, mirrors, HDRIs, and more.
- Quality improvements in roughness, color output, light distribution, sunlight, and more.
- Stacked Llyers: Materials can now be stacked on top of each other, much like layers in a photo editing application. Each layer can hold a number of components and an opacity mask can be used to determine the influence of each layer.
- Thin SSS: Subsurface scattering in version 2 now has a special mode that can handle single-sided geometry.
- A more robust and customizable network system.
- Support for IES and EULUMDAT files.
- Color Multilight: It is now possible to edit the color of emitters in real-time.
- Built-in compatibility with RealFlow, enabling users to generate procedural geometry and meshes at render time, using Maxwell Render.
- A new plug-in for Modo.
A demo of the new version and more information is available via the Maxwell Render site.
