To the wise maxwellians of this Sub-forum!

After having to deal with Vray and its eternal tweakings installed Maxwell and was greatly impressed by its straight fordwardnes , simplicity and quality!
But what is the recommended workflow for my 3DSmax modeled exterior scenes?
Using just the plugin?
Exporting the mesh to the Studio or what?
Thanks a lot

If you have 3D Studio Max I would use that instead of Studio because it is probably the most developed plugin and works pretty well. Studio is good if you have no other options but the interface is still pretty clunky and there might still be issues with importing some geometry. Setting up lighting for daytime exterior scenes will take you about a minute to do; it's almost a no brainier.

the rhino plug seems to be getting more love in the last time.

there's still no display of hdri/mxi in max's viewport... rhino has it since the last update
