mimic many surfaces that are composed of different materials one over another.
Maxwell materials are based on physical properties and therefore very easy to use once
understood properly. To help users to understand and use the Maxwell materials, we have
created the Maxwell Resources webpage, were you can freely download thousands of
photorealistic materials ready to use in your own projects.
We also provide Wizards to guide the user in material creation.
2.06 Learning curve
Maxwell Render™ is based on how light interacts with objects and materials in the real
world, so the concepts behind it are easy and intuitive to learn. You don’t have to learn
many parameters with strange terminology that have no equivalent in the real world - you
work more like a photographer.
You set up your lights using real world values, you adjust the camera using real camera
parameters and let Maxwell Render handle the rest. This intuitive workow is also exible
enough to allow for in-depth technical experiments, reviews or renders, if that is what
you’re looking for.
