Since the Maxwell camera is very similar to a real-life DSLR camera, most of the parameters in this group should be intuitive to anyone familiar with traditional photography: shutter speed, f/stop, ISO, exposure mode, diaphragm. TheĀ Camera section in the main Maxwell documentation contains a detailed explanation of how these features work.
The region settings allow you to render only a part of the frame. You can also do this by using Maya's region render feature, but sometimes it's more useful to be able to type in the region extents, rather than use the selection rectangle in the Render View. When Maya region rendering is used, it overrides any region settings defined at the camera level. The "Region Mode" attribute has 3 possible values:
- Full: region rendering is off.
- Region: only the specified region is rendered and the rest of the image is black.
- Blowup: the region is scaled to cover the full render resolution. Black bars are added to maintain the aspect ratio, if needed.
The "Custom Bokeh" settings allow you to change the aspect ratio of the bokeh effect, to simulate an anamorphic lens.
