Stay in the comfortable environment of your favorite 3D / CAD application and use the corresponding Maxwell Render plug-in to connect to Maxwell Render and take advantage of the software’s capabilities. The advanced level of integration makes it unnecessary to get in- depth Maxwell Render training, saving you time and money. We have created a range of plug-ins to connect Maxwell Render to the most popular 3D / CAD and post-production applications in the industry.

These post-production plug-ins allow users to interactively adjust settings like light intensity and color of emitters in post-processing, without having to re-render, resulting in fast and effective workflow. An interesting feature in Maxwell Render is the constant refinement approach of the render, which allows the post-production process to start while the render process is still going on, working in parallel and saving an extraordinary amount of time.
...
Open your 3D/ CAD application and make sure that the Maxwell Render plug-in is successfully installed. You will find tools to control the Maxwell rendering process in your Render Panel, Camera Settings Window, Material Editor, and so on. The location and position of the Maxwell tools depend on the structure of each individual host applications user interface.
