Studio includes an interactive preview mode, Maxwell FireFIRE (which stands for Fast Interactive Rendering), which gives you a completely interactive feedback of your scene, rendered quickly in draft mode.
As it works internally with Maxwell Render technology, it is physically correct, and provides an outstanding lighting and shading quality.

Options to control the quality of the Interactive render

Camera selector

This drop-down lists all the cameras that are available in your scene. Use it to select the camera you want to be rendered in the Interactive Preview. You can freely navigate in the Interactive Preview window with the Studio navigation shortcuts (Alt+LMB to orbit, Alt+MMB to pan and Alt+RMB to zoom) to explore your scene in detail. To revert to the original camera position, select your camera in the Camera selector drop-down.

 

Options

• Set Camera View: If you find a view that you like, you can set it to be the cameras new position. Choose Set Camera View and your camera in Studio will move to your current preview view.

...

• Settings: This opens the Interactive Preview settings menu, which allows you to set the quality of the interactive render, by adjusting the target Render Time (for the interactive render) in seconds, the target Sampling Level, and the rendering quality in a 1 to 5 scale, which affects the preview images antialiasing level - lower quality gives you faster and rougher previews. The quality level does not affect the quality of the global illumination or any other lighting or rendering feature.
