The following action helps you to apply the proper layer adjustments to a MXI file you load. It automatically creates the needed adjustment layers to allow you to control the emitters intensity and color. 

It comes with the installation of the Photoshop plugin (the MXI importer), but you can also download it from here: Maxwell_Actions.zip

This useful collection of MEL scripts allows you to work more efficiently with the Maxwell plug-in for Maya and in Maya in general. You can download the full collection of scripts from here, courtesy of Nunzio Norati

Description: MXIAutoComp is a compositing node for Nuke that mimics the capabilities of Multilight in Nuke from EXR render footage. The node allows you to extract the light buffers embedded on an EXR image file or sequence (if rendered with Multilight enabled) and automatically creates the complete nodes compositing structure associated to the lights embedded and mixes them adding independent intensity controls to each light, providing you the same adjustment capabilities as Multilight sliders do (but enjoying the noteworthy savings in file size derived from using EXR instead of MXI files). It also allows you to extract the extra render buffers embedded on the EXR render and even import the emitters sliders configuration from an external emixer file.
