6.02 Temperature of Emission
The Temperature of Emission can be chosen in Kelvin degrees (ºK). Full Temperature of
Emission mode affects not only the color but also the intensity of the emission. A higher
temperature will make the emission stronger and bluer. The color will change from red
(low temperature) to orange, to yellowish, to white, and nally blue (high temperature).

6.03 HDR Image
F.01 HDR image
This option allows you to texture an emitter with a MXI/ HDR/ EXR image. You can also
use low dynamic range image (LDR), such as a jpeg, by rst converting it from 8 bits to
32 bits using an image editing application, or Maxwell.exe. Simply open the image using
File>Load Image and once the image is loaded go to File>Save MXI.
You can also use Maxwell.exe to adjust the intensity of the MXI/ HDR/ EXR map using the
Intensity slider in the MXI section (found in the Edit panel).
Simply open your low-dynamic bitmap in the core rendering engine and save it to the MXI
format. Maxwell Render will automatically convert your image to a high-dynamic range
image. You can use the f-Stop and Intensity sliders to adjust your emitting image intensity.
