A really nice feature with Maxwell previews is the possibility rendering the preview via RealFlow's Command Line version. This means that the render process will be done outside the GUI and you do not have visual feedback in RealFlow. But, the finished images can be opened from the project's “preview” folder. Under “Export Central” you can also specify if you want to store the scene as a Maxwell Scene file (MXS). When a Maxwell preview is rendered using the Command Line version RealFlow will first check if the scene contains a camera (Maxwell previews – not the FIRE option – always need a camera). If the camera is missing a warning appears and the render process will not start.


Image Added

 

If you want to render the preview inside RealFlow's GUI then this is possible as well, of course, but this method is slower than the “Command Line”. In the GUI you can monitor the render process. The final images will be assembled and sent to the “Movie Player” for playback.

All this is possible inside RealFlow and without having to export data to your 3D application.


Info
If the rendered images do not match the adjusted size (e.g. 1280 x 720) please go to "Maxwell Scene Preferences" in the "Display" shelf, and change "Image Quality" to 100%.
