Maxwell Render 2.0 (Educational License) is a new render engine based on the physics of real light. Its algorithms and equations reproduce the behaviour of light in a completely accurate way. All of the elements in Maxwell, such as light sets, physical materials and cameras, are entirely based on physically accurate models. Maxwell Render (Educational License) can fully capture all light interactions between all elements in a scene no matter how complex they are.

Maxwell Render (Educational License) has been acclaimed as a landmark in the next-gen rendering technology, having produced the best photorealistic images to date and is the perfect solution for high-end rendering, especially in areas like architecture, industrial design, prototyping and 3D production.

Due to its very nature, Maxwell Render enables users to create accurate and extremely realistic images. Maxwell Render is a recognized standard in architectural visualization, product design, jewelry, film production, scientific research and other high-end rendering markets, and the leader in render quality.

A Complete Package: Maxwell Render includes a rendering engine, a material editor, an editing application, and a series of free plug-ins all in one. The application offers a range of features needed to prepare, edit and render perfect images in a comfortable and straightforward fashion, such as Multilight, Sub-surface scattering, Stacked materials and Displacement.

Ease of Use: Maxwell Render’s approach to rendering is based on real-world units and settings. It is not necessary to learn strange new concepts and a long list of render parameters that are based purely on computer graphics terminology, not reality. With Maxwell Render, it is straightforward to create and render scenes, and set-up times are extremely low compared to other renderers.

Unrivalled Realism: The technology behind Maxwell Render is physically correct and unbiased, resulting in images that are indistinguishable from photographs. Maxwell’s physically correct creations and data can help architects, designers and VFX supervisors understand what lighting inside or outside a building would look like once realized, or what a final product would look like in production.

Great Value: A Maxwell Render license not only gives you access to the most realistic renderer on the market, you also get free plug-ins to a wide range of popular 3D and CAD applications. You also get access to an online library of over 3500 free and ready-to-use materials, plus other resources like textures, skies, illumination pre-sets, free tutorials and community support.

Maxwell Multilight: Don't re-render, adjust the lights in real-time! For the first time in the industry, it is possible to have unlimited variations of lighting from just one render. Things have never been this easy.

Maxwell Render (Educational License) includes plugins for the following applications:

• Autodesk 3ds Max

For all other applications (Autocad, Microstation, Blender, Carrara etc.) it's possible to bring geometry into Studio with the supported file formats. (obj, stl, lwo, nff, xc2, dxf, 3ds, xml, fbx).

A selection of High Dynamic Range Images from Dosch Design are now available for free to Maxwell Render customers.

There is no technical difference between the educational license and a standard license although the educational license does not grant you a free upgrade to newer versions. When a new major version of Maxwell Render is released you will need to buy again.
