2 THE MAXWELL REALITY. UNDERSTANDING

MAXWELL’S APPROACH TO RENDERING

While Maxwell Render is uncomplicated and straightforward, it does make use of some

concepts and functions that may be new or different to you. They account for Maxwell

Render’s superb quality and realism. It is important to understand these concepts and

how they differ from more commonly used notions before you start working with Maxwell

Render. Note that these functions are explained in further detail later on in the manual.

2.01 Lighting in Maxwell Render

Light sources in Maxwell Render™ are dened by spectral characteristics and a light

source usually possesses a lot of information about the intensity of emission at any of the

possible wave lengths.

Maxwell Render does not use abstract lights typically used in traditional 3D applications

(distant, point, omni, spotlights). Instead, Maxwell Render uses actual geometry with

emitting materials. This approach to simulate lights emulates what happens in the real

world and mimics real-world lights, producing a high degree of realism, outputting smooth

shadows, providing a natural light distribution in your scene, and increasing the overall

quality of your image. Maxwell Render can handle large numbers of lights in a scene

without the performance loss sometimes experienced in other applications.

Lights in Maxwell Render™ are created applying an emitter material to an object. You can

adjust the color and intensity of the emitter using everyday terms like watts or efcacy,

or you can look into more advanced denitions using lumens, lux, Kelvin degrees, and

RGB. If you are new to Maxwell Render, it is best to start by selecting an emitter from the

Presets dropdown.
