> I spoke to the Next Limit guys at Siggraph about having a real exporter from XSI to Maxwell and they told me they are going to work on it. Hope it’s true. For now you can just bring in .obj and make beautiful scenes with no characters animated in XSI. ;)

> Speculars, reflections, refractions, diffuse, ambient occlusion etc, were all invented for rendering 3D to mimic reality. Now because Maxwell is physically based, and uses real-life material calculations, it doesn’t take things apart. Everything needs to be rendered in one shot. Might not be the best when the director wants a change in the tint of this object or less reflection on that character’s helmet…

> Cool. Motion blur and DOF stuff was pretty cool. Hell of a lot fast than MR from the looks of it....especially with DOF. Sure would be nice to have another renderer within XSI somehow. I know with things like Point Oven we can move everything to another "package" and use it there but it just seems kind of weird and scary that we are "locked" into one renderer at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I love MR and its integration, just would be nice to have more options. On a similar note, can XSI work with the Maxwell renderer? I imagine you just export obj or something into the standalone? Any word if there is a plugin for XSI coming out?
