There are various ways to launch your renders:

• Render: Your scene will be exported to MXS format, and Maxwell will be automatically launched and the render will start there. 

• Render via Network: Your scene is exported to MXS format, and a Network Wizard is opened to allow you to submit your render job to your farm. It is needed to set up a Network Rendering first. Check the Network Rendering page for more info about this subject. 

• Render Viewport: Your scene will be rendered in the Studio viewport, at your viewport size. This is helpful for quick test during the scene setup.

• Start/Stop Fire: This option starts or stops the render in the Interactive viewport (Maxwell Fire). 

• Render Scripts: this option allows you to create scripts to be executed to the mxs file when launching the render. It will show the .py files (so they should be Python scripts) that you put in the Maxwell installation folder > scripts > studio. When you select the script, Maxwell exports the scene to a folder of your choice and applies the script to it.

Load and save your layout, use a layout from a list of pre-set layouts, launch a new viewport, or open any of the panels available in Maxwell Studio. If you want to create your own default layout, save your desired layout with the name defaultlayout.stlay and store it in the Maxwell Render layouts folder. Maxwell Studio will open your layout the next time it is launched.
