Next Limit Technologies has created plug-in interfaces between Maxwell Render and the most popular 3D design and CAD applications.
By using the available Maxwell plug-ins for each 3D application you can assign Maxwell materials from the advanced material editor (MXED) and export the scene to MXCL for rendering. The plug-ins create a Maxwell scene file (.mxs) which can either be rendered direcly or imported into MXST for further advanced editing.
It is recommended you check the documentation of the plug-ins for specific usage as all plug-ins work slightly differently.
Below is a list of plug-ins developed and supported by Next Limit, and below that a list of plug-ins developed and supported by third parties – click on the icon or links to get more specific information about each plug-in.
