It does have a simple shader applied to each. FormZ exports a seperate materials file along with the OBJ. Not sure if that's typical.

Well... I can group them as one source and multiply it by the number of original sources. I usually do that anyway for Maxwell.

But right now, I'm not able to get the Demo to work with the OBJ files from my modeling software. It just crashes each time I try to add a mesh. I can open the sample OBJs ...

I see.
Well, I think it would be good to at least see how it renders with what I have. I can then judge from that whether or not I will see improved render times over what I have now with Maxwell. I'll give it a shot.
Thanks.

Also, Do you know of any good lighting tutorials I can look at that ...

We do have a Mac here that has a NVIDIA GeForce 6600 card installed. But NVIDIA's site doesn't say anything about that card being CUDA supported. Does that matter?

Hi,
I work for a interior design firm and currently use Form Z to model our projects and use Maxwell to render. I would like to find an alternative to Maxwell as it is too slow (~24 hours to render a single clean image). Someone suggested I look into Octane. It looks promising from what I can tell ...
