Maxwell是一个基于真实光线物理特性的全新渲染引擎，按照完全精确的算法和公式来重现光线的行为。 Maxwell中所有的元素，比如灯光发射器，材质，灯光等等，都是完全依靠精确的物理模型产生的。可以纪录场境内所有元素之间相互影响的信息，所有的光线计算都是使用光谱信息和高动态区域数据来执行的。

主要功能：

1、内部没有采用传统的RGB色彩空间，而是用光谱来定义光线的颜色。完全把光线当作携带能量的电磁波来看待。

2、声称可以避免传统的Photon Map、Radiocity等算法的缺点。

3、内置真实的摄影机镜头算法，而不用Post的 Camera Shader。直接可以计算白光色散等光学现象

3、先进的Caustics算法

4、严格的光源定义，不允许没有面积的光源，并且支持众多数量的光源。

5、完全真实的Motion Blur

Nextlimit Maxwell Render 3.x Mac OSX | 215 MB

Maxwell Render Nextlimit company is an independent system of visualization (rendering) of three-dimensional objects, which is based on the principle of "no assumptions". That is, it is based on the physical properties of light and surfaces. Since the program uses the equation of the wave theory of light, it is possible to visualize three-dimensional scenes with unprecedented quality. Also present in the assembly of Maxwell Render Tutorials.

Main Features

Full support to spotlights, fully controllable new emitters workflow. More information here.

Extra Sampling feature, that allows to distribute different Sampling Level values in different parts of the image, saving a huge amount of time More information here.

OpenVDB format supported for volumetric rendering. More information here.

360º Animation tool in Studio, to easily create turntable and time-lapse animations in Studio in just one click. More information here.

Camera sensor models, reproducing the color response of many real world camera models. More information here.

White balance and Tint tone mapping controls of the render. More information here.

Floating Shadows and Floating Reflections in FIRE. More information here.

Support for UDIM and other tiled texture formats. More information here.

Custom Alpha now based on materials as well. More information here.

New Technology Preview Network System (TP Network). More information here.

Hide to Camera in Shadow Channel, to get perfect full shadows for compositing, avoiding the 1 pixel border around the shadow without the need to launch an extra for the full shadow. More information here.

Devignetting can not be negative, for artsy purposes. More information here.

New output macro to specify the name of the channel in the output image file name. More information here.
