The newest Maxwell version aims to speed up rendering time. The new GPU engine, render times can be up to 10X faster in many scenes; besides, the CPU engine has also been improved. Furthermore, Maxwell maintains a constant development roadmap to keep adding more of the CPU Maxwell features into the GPU. Clients will benefit from these continual enhancements.
The main Maxwell 4 benefits include:
- GPU: The new engine runs on nVidia graphic cards. Not applicable for apple devices.
- Complete overhaul of the Revit integration.
- Rhino for Mac support to improve workflow.
- Maxwell Multilight™ standalone: infinite lighting variations from ONE single render.
- Materials gallery with hand-picked selection of high-quality, optimized Maxwell materials.
For the full list of features and specs consult the Maxwell 4 website.
Maxwell v4 means the biggest technical change in the history of our render engine. Maxwell's quality has always been a reference for the rendering community, so porting all our technology (spectral, unbiased, physically based, etc) to the GPU has been a big challenge. We are very happy with the result, even we are surprised with the performance boost gained in many cases! Of course this is just the beginning, we will continue working hard to make Maxwell better every day.
