Introduction

Maxwell Studio is an independent application within the core components of Maxwell Render - a sophisticated scene editor with a full 3D environment, offering an alternative workflow for those Maxwell Render users that work with 3D or CAD applications that we do not currently offer a plug-in for. Rendering in Maxwell Render is available for any 3D platform thanks to Studio. You can export your models in any of the compatible formats, import them in Studio, and there adjust the cameras, assign and edit materials, set up the environment and lighting, and launch the render.

It is also useful as an MXS editing tool - an MXS file generated by any plug-in we currently offer can be imported into Maxwell Studio. For example if your scene is not rendering as intended, usually the most efficient way of seeing what is wrong is opening the MXS in Maxwell Studio and checking that the scene has been exported by the plug-in (cameras, materials, geometry etc.) as expected.
