- Load a MXS file with the “...” button next to “Render Scene”.
- Under “Scene” you will see a tree with the groups and nodes.
- When "Override environment" is active RealFlow will use the → "Maxwell Scene Preferences: Settings" for the render, instead the parameters from the "Settings" tab instead of the embedded settings from the MXS file.
- Cameras are treated separately and must be imported with the green arrow in order to make them usable.
- The “Materials” branch of the nodes tree lists all available shaders; available materials will be applied automatically after import.
“Clear All” will remove all embedded nodes.

The “Render Scene Manager” is also capable of handling animations. The MXS format cannot store animation data within the file, but you will find one file per frame instead – a sequence:. When an animated node is imported (D, image above) it will lose its animation features, because the connection to the referenced files will be broken.
- Enable the “Animation” checkbox and open an arbitrary MXS file from the sequence.
- To see the animation, scrub the timeline.
- If the animation is not visible check “Padding”. By default, a five-digit padding is used, e.g. “Walking_Man_00001”.
- A “Frame offset” can also be applied.
