Version 4.1.0 - 08 Jun 2017
Changes:
- Built with Maxwell SDK 4.1.0.3.
- Added Support for Revit 2018
- Plugin now uses central Maxwell installation.
- Added new Ribbon Button "Lights" (it is enabled only in ortho Views and from Revit 2018 in Perspective views too - but not from Floor views)
- Added new "Maxwell Lights" Dialog (accessible by the Lights button), which provides quick controls to scene lights (currently: Environment Lights and material emitter lights).
- Added new Material export parameter "Emission Multiplier" - during export the exporter multiplies the emission value of the converted (or loaded mxm) material with this value (the material emitter controls of the new Light dialog change this value).
- Render Setting feature groups are now collapsible.
- Render Settings dialog was changed (to match it better with Maxwell Studio controls)
"Layers/Channels" tab has been removed
New tab was added "Globals" (Here are the controls responsible for the Global effects - displacement/dispersion, the old Layer settings, and scene conversion parameters)
New tab was added "Post-Process" (Here are the controls which add extra effect to the final image: Tone Mapping, Simulens)
"Layers" group has been renamed to "Illumination / Caustics"
The "Output" tab contains controls related to file output (mxs, mxi and image outputs, channels)
"General" tab was simplified, and the new Denoiser controls were added here.
- (Revit 2018 only) some plugin features (scene export, Material editor, Maxwell parameter change undo/redo) which were disabled in Perspective views, are now accessible from Perspective views too.
- Added new Denoiser controls (to Maxwell Render Parameters dialog -> General).
- Render parameter "Quality" has been renamed to "Engine", engine parameter names are: "CPU Production", "CPU Draft", "GPU".
- Changed error message at Revit start in the case the plugin can not run.
- CPU Threads can have minus value (minus value means the maximum number of CPUs minus this number).
- Info text "All" or "All-..." after the CPU Threads control (to show the actual behavior).
