This section explains the basics to create Maxwell Render plug-ins. The SDK can be used for many things as:
- Create plug-in connectivity between 3D applications and Maxwell Render
- Create and Read MXS files. A MXS (Maxwell Scene Format) file contains all the information needed for Maxwell to render a scene
- Integrate the Maxwell Render Engine inside 3D applications
- Read and Write MXI files (Maxwell Image format)
