In Maxwell V3 we introduced the concept of materialTypesor Material Assistants, which use a reduced set of intuitive parameters that greatly simplify and speed up the material creation process. These are the current simplified assistants available:

• AGS (special transparent material useful for speeding up interior renders - see the Architectural Glass Solution (AGS) page for details)

• Opaque (any kind of opaque diffuse or shiny materials such as solid plastics, shiny wooden floors, concrete, etc.)

• Transparent (all transparent glass and plastic materials which are not translucent - ie, they do not have subsurface scattering)

• Metal (all kinds of metals)

• Translucent (all transparent and semi-transparent materials which are translucent - plastics, marble, milk)

• Car paint (for creating multilayered paints such as metallic car paint)

• Hair (useful for creating materials for different types of hair)

• Substance Painter (a super-easy way of feeding your Substance Painter textures and convert them into a matching Maxwell material)

• TableBRDF (for loading this type of scanned materials from the MERL (Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories)).

• XRite AxF (for loading this type of scanned materials

...

• Emitter (for creating light-emitting materials and light projectors)

• Custom (this simply switches the material editor to the advanced version)

• MXM Reference (lets you load an external standalone Maxwell material file (.MXM) - see the Referenced Materials page for details).
