8.01 General
The Maxwell Render approach to rendering is quite different from that of other rendering
engines. Because of its physically correct behavior and spectral calculations of light, there
is no concept of a “nished” render. The render will keep calculating until you stop it.
There are two ways to stop a render in Maxwell Render: by setting a Sampling Level (SL:
level of quality) or by setting a Render Time (in minutes). If you set both parameters, the
render will stop when one of them is reached. This double approach gives you a lot of
exibility to control the quality.
F.01 Scene
Setting the Sampling Level is useful to ensure that all the frames of your sequence will
reach the same quality level, regardless of the time needed for each specic frame. I.e. set
SL to 10 and Render Time to 10.000 to ensure that the rst condition to be reached is SL.
Setting the Render Time is useful if you want to get results within a specic time frame.
I.e. set you SL to 30 and the Render Time to 5 (minutes) to make sure that your render
