The plugin adds a new Maxwell page to Rhino's Object Properties window:


    Image RemovedImage Added

As with any Object Properties page, this page is context-sensitive, tracking the current object selection in order to shows relevant information about the selected objects. The page is divided into four main sections.

...

PropertyFunction
HideWhen enabled, this object will be exported, but will be hidden.
Hide from cameraHides this object from being seen directly by the camera.
Hide from GIHides this object from the global-illumination calculation.

Hide from Refl. & Refr.

Hides this object from reflection/refraction calculations.

Hide from ZClipHides this object from Maxwell’s Z-Clip feature.
Object ID ColorSets the color of this object when the Object ID channel is rendered.
OpacitySets the opacity of this object, irrespective of its material.
Boolean TypeSets this object to be used as a Render Boolean, which cuts other geometry, rather than being rendered itself.
Backface Mat.Sets the material to use on the backside of this object's mesh faces.
Custom Alphas

A comma-separated list of Custom Alpha channels, in which this object will be included.

Blocked EmittersA comma-separated list of the blocked emitter object names for this object (if the object doesn't have a name you'll have to give it one in Rhino's Object Properties panel).

Modification

The parameters in this section are used to modify meshes after they have already been exported, or during render time.

...

When one of these is enabled for an object, the plugin stores the object’s current position for use during export. At that time, the object will be written into the MXS file using both the stored position , and its position at export-time. Maxwell will figure motion-blur based on the difference between these two positions.
