The Maxwell Render plug-in for After effects improves the connection between Maxwell Render and one of the most used post-production platforms: After Effects. The Maxwell Image file format is a rich container where amounts of render data is stored. Each light buffer, alpha channel, Z-buffer and so on can be loaded from an MXI to an After Effects comp set. All channels generated by Maxwell Render can be loaded with After Effects from a single MXI file/sequence, like any other layered image format. One of the main advantages of the MXI format is that it stores all channels in 32 bits, so you can work using full range color always. In case that the user doesn't need 32 bits of color, the plugin is able to retrieve all channels in 16 and 8 bits too, maximizing the compatibility with the pipelines and plug-ins.
