  • Maxwell application using

    Launch the render using the selected engine (CPU or GPU), open the Animation Tool to generate simple turntable animations, or sun time-lapses, send the scene to be rendered using the Network

    , or rendering directly on

    System or the Maxwell Cloud or render directly in the Studio viewport. Rendering your scene in the Maxwell application gives you an extra control over the rendering process, as it allows you to control the Multilight sliders, use scripting, SimuLens, etc, and will be the main option for most projects. Sending the scene to be rendered in the Network System allows you to use several computers working together in a render farm. And rendering in the viewport gives you a quick feedback of your render directly on your Studio viewport. 

    Launch the Interactive Preview on CPU or GPU (Maxwell Fire) which gives you interactive feedback about your scene, by displaying a great quality preview render of your scene in seconds. This makes it much easier and faster to adjust your materials, adjust the environment conditions, set up the emitters and see the results in real time. Image RemovedImage Added
