Hi, Yadi!
I'm afraid both images look far from what you might achieve with both Maxwell and Lightscape. Of course, I'm assuming you use tem because you want photorealistic results. There's a quite long way to go (IMHO) untill you get what your softwares can give you.

Yadi... I think you need to work on your materials and also allow Maxwell to reach a higher sample level because there is still a lot of noise present. Give your materials some varying noise patterns and your windows need a little more transparency. You've also got something funny happening with your trees and cars, not sure what that is.

Thanks for your advice...i ll try play around with material.

For glass I used plastic material, I dont know how to make transparant on plastic material?

Have you any idea?

Thank you.

Maxwell has it's own glass material it's called "Maxwell Dielectric" that is what you should be using. If you go to the Maxwell forem and do a search you will find plenty of info on how to use this material.

Thanks Maxer. I found in the forum that plastic material cannot be transparent.
