Maxwell Render™ can fully capture all light interactions between all elements in a scene no matter how complex they are.Īll parameters in Maxwell use real-world units. Lens distortion effects are not supported. The natural vignetting of the physical camera (like a pinhole camera) can not be enabled. For example, if a spot light is needed, then a model of a spot with emitter and reflector must be created. So, Maxwell support emitter materials, but not native Rhino lights. Its algorithms and equations reproduce the behavior of light in a completely accurate way.Īll of the elements in Maxwell, such as light sets, physical materials and cameras, are entirely based on physically accurate models. Maxwell Render™ is a new render engine based on the physics of real light. RhinoMan is a frontend for all RenderMan compliant render engines… Opensource and still in development, somewhat unstable, but has raytracing
