Maxwell Render

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation procedure for Windows:

Run the installation file and follow the installation procedure.

The Maxwell Render V2 executable files will be added to the system path.

Two user environment variables named MAXWELL2_ROOT and MAXWELL2_MATERIALS_DATABASE pointing to the installation folder will be added.

If these variables do not exist or are not created properly, the application will fail.

You may need administrator permissions to be able to perform the Maxwell Render installation correctly.


---------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation procedure for Mac:

Open the disk image and drag the Maxwell 2 folder to your Applications Directory. Install the plug-in of your 3D platform from the plug-ins folder

Important: When launching Maxwell Render from a plug-in, it will locate Maxwell by the OSX-preferred application for MXS files. You can check this by getting information from an MXS file.

If you have more than one version of Maxwell Render installed on your system, make sure it has selected the correct one.


--------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation procedure for Linux:

Maxwell64 comes packaged in a tar.gz package.

This example assumes that you are going to install Maxwell64 in the / opt folder:
- Copy maxwell64-2.0.Linux64.tar.gz to /opt
- Type: gzip -d maxwell64-2.0.Linux64.tar.gz
- Type: tar xvf maxwell64-2.0.Linux64.tar
- Maxwell64 is now installed in /opt/maxwell64

If you use bash shell, add the this line to your .bash_profile :

export MAXWELL2_ROOT=/opt/maxwell-2.0
export MAXWELL2_MATERIALS_DATABASE="/opt/maxwell-2.0/materials database"

or if you use tcsh or equivalent C-shell, add this to .cshrc or .tcshrc:

setenv MAXWELL2_ROOT /opt/maxwell-2.0
setenv MAXWELL2_MATERIALS_DATABASE "/opt/maxwell-2.0/materials database"

In the above lines, change "/opt/maxwell-2.0"
to match your maxwell installation folder.

If you wish, append $MAXWELL2_ROOT to your $PATH so maxwell can be run from anywhere.


maxwell, studio and mxed can be started from the command line or by double-clicking on them on a graphical interface.

The mximerge command line utility the network utility mxnetwork must be started from the command line.
