Maxwellrender for AC15, Any news ?

Hi,

Strangely, this time the Maxwell plugin is not ready as usual on time ( it used to be quickly ready after each new AC release! )

Anyone know when it will be ready ?

for anyone who is intrested, there was a post on the maxwellrender forum about the same question ( probably the "best" place to ask), here is the link:
http://maxwellrender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=37392

And the official answer from nextlimit is:
"Until we have the new plug-in for ArchiCAD15-which is very recent and we haven´t had time to develop it yet but we will do as soon as we can- you can make your work in AC15 and then open it AC14, and from there, you can use the current plug-in to launch the scene to Maxwell Render. Or just work directly in AC14."
this is strange as Pavol has had always given the plugin on time with as soon as a new version was released... ( I doubt that he is always behind the plugin now )...and the answer is rather strange as each version has always 'something' that can't be opened in old ones (take the shell example...😉 )

In addition, the work around they gave hasn't been working for us. Back saving to 14 has caused all sorts of issues with Cadimage's plug-in among other things.
We are sitting and waiting on Next Limit before we upgrade all our systems.

It's annoying.
