Maxwell Render wird als Stand-alone Applikation verkauft und ist für Windows, Mac OS X und Linux verfügbar.

Wie Maxwell Render arbeitet:

• Über eines der vielen Plugins für die gebräuchlichsten 3D Applikationen
• Über Maxwell Studio bietet Maxwell viele Möglichkeiten die 3D Szenen mit allen verfügbaren Maxwell Optionen ideal zu bearbeiten. Dabei werden die Geometriedaten aus den Standard 3D Applikationen importiert.

Für jede erworbene Maxwell Render Lizenz können sie jedes Plugin benutzen.
Eine Maxwell Lizenz erlaubt Ihnen die parallele Nutzung von bis zu 4 CPUs (4 einfache CPU System, 2 Dual- oder 1 Quad-CPU System)

Folgende Plugins stehen bereits zur Verfügung:
3dsMax, Viz, Maya, Lightwave, Rhino, Cinema 4D, Solidworks, ArchiCAD, formZ, SketchUp
