The improvements in the Maxwell Render version 2 material system allow you to create better, more complex, and faster materials. Version 1.x materials are compatible with version 2, but a small number of version 1.x materials (and therefore scenes) may not look entirely correct. We recommend to re-do as many version 1.x materials in version 2 as possible to make them into materials of a far superior quality. 

The only materials that can present difficulties are SSS materials and Clipmap materials.
