At the top of the Maxwell UI, you will see the different menus available in The core
rendering engine.
F.01 Menus panel
File:
• Open MXS: Open a MXS le generated from the plug-ins or from Studio. You can
then set the render and output options from the Render Options panel and click the
Render button to start rendering.
• Open MXI: Open a MXI le which you can then adjust using Multilight and the render
settings in the Edit panel.
• Save MXI as: This menu option can be used to convert a bitmap to the MXI format
for use as an Image emitter in your scenes. For more details, see the Load Image
menu option.
• Merge MXI: Select several MXI les that were rendered on different computers
and merge them together to obtain a higher Sampling Level. This is normally done
automatically when using network rendering, but this option can be useful in case you
are using computers for rendering which are not connected in network.
• Merge MXI Sequence: In certain situations you may have several MXI les (i.e.
several frames in an animation sequence) rendered by multiple computers, each with
the complete sequence of MXI frames. In this case you may want to merge each
frame with the same frame in the other computers to obtain the nal sequence. This
option allows you to specify all the folders to merge (with its “Add Folder” tool), and
each frame will be merged with the same frame in the other folders, obtaining a
single, complete sequence.
• MXI Batch Processing: This tool allows you to edit a group of MXI les,
applying the same modications to all of them. You can change the ISO, Shutter,
Tone Mapping, SimuLens, and Multilight settings. You can also extract the render
images and the channels from the MXI les, export the emitters as separated
images, and make changes in the emitters’ intensity (overwriting original les, or
not). Simply select the input folder where the MXI les are located, and specify
an output folder. You can use the “File Name Filter” to lter the le selection, and
use the “View affected les” option to review the MXI les that will be processed.
