Blackmagic Forum

Would you consider support for Maxwell render multilight files?

The " competition " already has this feature. I like Fusion, it would be nice to have this in Fusion also.

Wrong forum, no? Shouldn't you be asking Next Limit?

Multilight is a postprocessing trick so it could be manipulated in Fusion as well but you will need a PS plug-in to export the layer structure.

Stack the renders in Fusion and you would in PS with corresponding blend modes and then have fun. You can change the intensity, color and everything else you would do in Maxwell as well as Photoshop.

I have given up on Maxwell cause I do not need hyperrealism but from what I've learned is to disable multilight completely cause most of the time you don't need it and it comes with a great performance tax. In case you need it make sure you make proxy image with desired lighting setup, save an MXI and then do Import Multilight on high quality image and select that MXI. Of course make sure to turn off multilight when rendering.

Maybe you already knew that but some one could find it useful.
