Xrite Axf

When Xrite AxF is selected from the Type pulldown menu, Maxwell will render the material according to the referenced AxF material definition. See Xrite AxF materials in Maxwell for more information.

  • Open: Select the AxF to associate with the formZ material.
  • Delete: Remove reference to external AxF.
  • Preview: Generate a preview of the material in the formZ sample scene (6” sphere, 6” cylinder, 6” cube, or 6” plane)

 

Embedded AxF Bitmap Notes

The scale of the AxF texture may be adjusted with formZ's Edit Texture tool.

At render time, all bitmap textures embedded within the AxF material are extracted and written to disk. This process can take some time, resulting in a pause before rendering commences. Once the rendering starts, AxF materials do not take longer than MXMs.

AxF bitmap extraction may be temporarily disabled in scene Translation.

The location where extracted bitmaps are stored can be changed in Project Settings.
