Thin Lens is the Maxwell default lens which features depth of field and motion blur; Pin Hole is the same as Thin Lens but removes all the depth of field effect. Ortho, simulates parallel perspective, suitable for elevation or plan renders; Fish Eye, Spherical and Cylindrical offer some special projections that can help to achieve wide-angle or even 360º views. You can find more information about the different lens types here: Lens Types.

  • Axo dist: In the case of using an Axonometric view or an Ortho lens, this parameter will work as a way to slice the geometry to be able to see the inside of a building. You can set this parameter to positive or negative values.

  • Autofocus: Normally plugin reads the focus distance of the ARCHICAD camera. It can be difficult to set the proper focus distance with the normal ARCHICAD tool, but with this option, Maxwell will automatically set the focus distance so the first object that hits the camera line will be in focus.

    • Focus Distance: Manual focus distance of the exported ARCHICAD camera. In the case of an Axonometric or Ortho view, this will move the camera closer or further from the target.

  • Resolution: The plugin can set the resolution of the rendered image according to:

    • ARCHICAD 3D window size - choose this one if you want to see exactly the same camera setup that you see inside the 3D window. (To be sure you will see exactly the same, keep the Film fit parameter ON.)

    • Render Size - in this mode, the output image size comes from the ARCHICAD render size values. You can find the render width and height values at the top of the PhotoRendering Settings dialog below the Engine parameter.

  • Film fit: Keep this flag ON if you want the plugin to set the film width/height values automatically (proportional to the render image dimension).
