Maxwell Render

Product purpose: Maxwell Render is a photorealistic 3D rendering engine for architecture and product design.
Rendering method: Next Limit describes Maxwell Render as the first commercial rendering solution introducing physics-based unbiased ray-tracing.
Realism: The engine uses unbiased spectral ray-tracing designed to simulate real-world light and materials accurately.
Interactive workflow: Maxwell’s interactive engine provides immediate feedback while adjusting lighting, materials and camera settings.
Denoiser: The Denoiser feature is described as producing faster results, with 2x to 6x speed improvements at lower sampling levels.
Network rendering: Networking rendering can use multiple computers for one image or assign computers to individual animation frames.
Scripting: The Python SDK supports custom tools including channel extraction, material creation and network-render management.
Integrations: Official integrations include Rhino, SketchUp, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, ArchiCAD, form·Z and Maya, plus Maxwell Studio.
