Maxwell specific camera settings

The MaxwellCameraAttrs custom parameter set added under each Camera contains settings specific to Maxwell. Other settings such as aspect ratio, focal length, film aperture are controlled from the usual Camera Properties page in Softimage.

Note

If the MaxwellCameraAttrs parameter set does not appear under the Camera in the Explorer, click on the Camera icon once and it will appear.

The Mode parameter lets you choose how to control the exposure:

  • Manual: you can set both the F-Stop and Shutter Speed independently to control the exposure
  • Aperture Priority: Lets you set the F-Stop and automatically adjusts the Shutter Speed to maintain the same exposure. You can also change the exposure using the Exposure Value (EV).
  • Shutter Priority: Lets you set the Shutter Speed and automatically adjusts the F-Stop to maintain the same exposure. This can be useful to control the amount of motion blur since Shutter Speed matters when using motion blur.

For more details on the other Maxwell Camera parameters, see the Camera parameters, Camera and Motion Blur pages.
