Core enhancements: key parts of the engine have been rewritten, resulting in many fantastic improvements, bringing the quality of your renders to a completely new level. Memory handling has been greatly enhanced. This version uses much less memory than version 1.1, making it possible to render at very high resolutions (for example at 8000 x 6000 with less than 2 GB of Ram) without losing quality. High-res images are just a mouse-click away now.
As a consequence of the core enhancements, memory-intensive tasks such as glare, Multilight with a lot of emitters, large geometries and a lot of heavy textures are improved. Additionally, MXI files can always be re-rendered and the size of the MXI files is around 3.5 times smaller in the new version. The core enhancements also allow for a 32 bits output: it is now possible to set the output image format to HDR directly inside Maxwell Render. As already announced in previous newsletters, we have further improved the network system, making it more stable and faster, with the possibility to see a coop preview image and to select machines by name or IP. There will also be a Linux version, an optimized Maxwell Studio and an improved Maxwell Material Editor.

Rerendering MXI files means, that you can interrupt and resume a render, a feature all maxwell users were waiting for. This will be really handy, because you can refine the little grain later when you have more time or machines. A date is not set, though. They say "stay tuned".
