  • The plug-in is unable to save the changes in the original .mxi or in a new .mxi, for the moment. If the user wants to save any changes, they must save as psd or another layered file format.
  • If you would like to emulate the Maxwell Render Multilight feature, you should blend the light layers using the Linear Dodge (Add) blending mode.
  • The exposure of each layer can be controlled by applying an adjustment Exposure layer, mimicking the ISO/ Shutter slider. To adjust the color of a layer (mimicking the MultiLight color adjustment), you can apply a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to the desired layer.
  • To avoid the adjustment layer affecting the layers underneath, you should create a Clipping Mask (Alt + Ctrl + G) to ensure the adjustment only affects the desired layer. (See the Maxwell Render Action for Photoshop included in the plug-in package).
  • If you would like to use your own background, you can use the Background Mask layer in Multiply blending mode. Just paste your own background into the Background layer.

  • The MXI must have been rendered with the alpha channel enabled to get this Background Mask information.
  • Due to the new Multishadow feature, regular shadow buffers in old MXIs will be showed incorrectly.
  • If you need a shadow buffer of an old MXI you must downgrade the plug-in to the 2.0.3 version.
  • The 64 bits version of the Mac OSX plug-in loads the MXIs with bithdepth 32 by default.
  • The Motion Vector buffer appears clipped by its own motion vector alpha information, which is different to the global Alpha buffer.
