FIRE is the abbreviation for "Fast Interactive Rendering" and describes a real-time render method. The workflow is simple:
- Prepare your scene/simulation and apply materials to the nodes.
- Click on the FIRE button in the Render shelf – the → "Maxwell Interactive" panel is opened and the render starts.
- Now, change the → viewport's perspective and the image will be updated in real-time.
It is not only possible to change perspective, but also materials:
- Go to a node's "Maxwell Render" panel and apply a new material.
- The render will be triggered without having to restart it manually.
Finally, lighting and render quality can also be changed:
- Render shelf > Maxwell Scene Preferences
- Here you will find several settings for controlling the render's environment.
- Click on "Apply" to see the effect of your settings.
- Once you are happy, click on "OK" to confirm the adjustments.
