Next Limit Maxwell | 3ds Max - Floating, 1 GUI

High-quality, photorealistic 3D rendering for architecture and product design

Next Limit Maxwell | 3ds Max offers seamless integration, allowing you to work comfortably within the 3ds Max interface. It brings you advanced Maxwell Render technology in a simple, self-contained package.

GROUND TRUTH QUALITY

Maxwell is all about quality. Period. This has been our sacred mantra for most than 15 years of development. Our secret sauce is a physically-correct unbiased spectral engine, which produces not only beautiful images but also lighting-accurate simulations. In fact, Maxwell is considered the ground-truth in rendering and CGI production. We strive to inspire others, and you inspire us.

WHAT IS MAXWELL RENDER?

Maxwell Render™ is a rendering engine based on the mathematical equations governing light transport. In other words, Next Limit derived all elements, such as emitters, materials, and cameras, from physically accurate models. Maxwell Render is unbiased, so no tricks are used to calculate the lighting solution in every pixel of a scene. The result will always be a correct solution, as it would be in the real world. Maxwell Render can fully capture all light interactions between all elements in a scene. Not only that, Maxwell performs all lighting calculations using spectral information and high dynamic range data.

Due to its very nature, Maxwell Render enables users to create accurate and extremely realistic images. Maxwell Render is a recognized standard in architectural visualization, product design, jewelry, film production, scientific research, and other high-end rendering markets, and the leader in render quality.

Maxwell Render is a rendering engine that accepts models and scenes created in 3D or CAD applications. In addition, Maxwell Render plug-in directly supports several of these applications. Use others in conjunction with Maxwell Render. Simply import the geometry into Maxwell Studio, a component of the software.

MULTI-GPU SPEED

If you have ever heard that Maxwell is slow. Well, it was. Our commitment to developing the most accurate render engine on the market wasn’t negotiable. The story has changed in Maxwell 5. A fully rewritten multi-GPU core now delivers final results in minutes. So, you get accurate previews in seconds, keeping physical accuracy intact. With multiple GPUs working in parallel you’ll get an unprecedented Maxwell experience. To put it another way, with Maxwell 5, time is now in your hands.

CLOUD SPEED

The new Cloud Render service allows you to access the most powerful machines available in the cloud (up to 96 cores) speeding up the render process and thus improving your productivity. Easily dispatch Cloud Render Jobs from Maxwell Studio and the plugins, freeing the local computer from high CPU loads. Cloud Render helps you optimize your time and resources more efficiently.

NEXT LIMIT MAXWELL | 3DS MAX INTEGRATIONS

Maxwell 5 is seamlessly integrated into most of the major 3D/CAD software solutions such as Rhino, SketchUp, Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max, ArchiCAD, Cinema 4D, and formZ. As an alternative, the standalone Maxwell Studio offers an independent production/rendering environment to create, edit, and render Maxwell scenes. In addition, you get Render nodes and network tools for advanced deployments. Maxwell is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

To summarize, Maxwell Integrations offer an easy workflow that allows you to compose, edit, and render your scenes from a simple toolbar inside your usual 3D application.

Maxwell Integrations come with the full Maxwell toolkit, including the following.

• Maxwell Production Engine
• Multilight™
• FIRE (interactive preview engine)
• Materials Editor
• Real camera model
• Network tools
