727 MBMaxwell Render of Next Limit Technologies is an independent system visualization (rendering) of three-dimensional objects, which is built 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.The system is completely reproduces not only the wave properties of light that makes it easy to reproduce many physical phenomena, such as expansion of the light spectrum after passing through a prism. Sam visualizer expects this behavior of light, without forcing the user to resort to various tricks and tactics.In addition, using a model of a real physical object's surface, Maxwell Render calculates the interaction of light with the surface as it actually happens. Therefore, in the most logical to use the units of the SI system. Non-physical imaging systems use a different approach and work with the surface and its characteristics otherwise. Otherwise - the different characteristics of machined surfaces are artificial, defined only by the user and does not depend on its real properties. As a result, you can often see various artifacts, defects in the final image. An interesting feature of Maxwell Render is a rejection of the ways to represent the world in the form of quanta (photons). Go to work with the wave characteristics possible to describe the properties of the virtual light source, as is done with real sources. For example, the color is now set not set the values of RGB, and long-wave or surface temperature of the luminous object. These two parameters are closely related. The closest analogue were photometric lights in the 3ds Max.
