Hi everyone,

We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.6 of Maxwell Render. It contains many new features and fixes, including:

- Hair rendering: Introducing a new procedural primitive for rendering hair- compatible with the most popular hair systems (Shave & Haircut, Maya Hair, Max Hair, Ornatrix, Cinema Hair, Softimage Hair, Houdini Fur).

- Particle rendering: New procedural primitive for particles- compatible with the most popular particle systems (RealFlow particles, Maya particles, 3dsMax).

- Support for Vector displacement. Now includes a new, faster displacement algorithm.

- Much faster motion blur with unlimited substeps. Allows for effects such as long exposure light trails where the light also affects the surroundings during exposure.

- Referenced MXS files: It is now possible to load references of MXS files in your main scene file, which are added only at render time, dramatically reducing export times especially for animations, and reducing scene transfer times when network rendering.

- Advanced integration with RealFlow- allowing you to handle RealFlow output and generate particles and meshes at render time.

- Online Customer support center for everything from documentation, tutorials and tips, to scenes and scripts
