· Maxwell Fire rendering may now be viewed directly in the viewport

· Objects with no texture coordinates are no longer excluded from export

And fixing several bugs like a crash which could occur in Maxwell Fire when changing environment type, not resetting of Displacement and Global bump to an MXM file and more.

We asked Evermotion to answer few question about their unbiased renderer called NOX. The renderer is still in development and in beta stage (currently version 0.3.41) but already the first results are looking very promising. About the updates which Evermotion did on NOX you could read also before here at 3D-Sphere, now you can read something about the renderer himself. We would like to thank again Evermotion for answering our questions. Be sure to check NOX and try yourself. Read the whole interview below.
