Maxwell for Rhino :: Scene Manager
The process of exporting and rendering of MXS files with the Maxwell for Rhino plugin is managed using the Scene Manager window.
To open the Scene Manager, either click the appropriate button in the plugin’s Tools toolbar, or click main menu > Maxwell > Plugin
Windows > Scene Manager:
The Scene Manager has several tabs, each of which deals with a particular aspect of the Maxwell scene:
Materials: this is the list of materials used in the current scene; these materials are saved with the document. New materials
may be created from scratch, by using the plugin’s material Wizard, or by dragging MXM files into the list from
the Database Manager’s MXM Browser page, or from Explorer.
Camera: contains parameters used to control the Maxwell camera. Each Rhino viewport gets its own camera, including
Named Views. At MXS-export time, all Rhino views and Named Views will be exported, unless the Active camera
only option is set in Scene Manager > Options > Export.
Location & Time: contains parameters which control the scene’s location, time, and date. Time and date may be set interactively by
dragging the SunView globe, which provides a Suns-eye view of the Earth. The scene’s location may be set
explicitly using the Latitude and Longitude values, by choosing a city preset from the drop-down list, or by
browsing for a .kml file. The Sun may be shown in the viewport by toggling-on the Show Sun in Viewport button
in the toolbar.
Environment: determines what render environment to use; the choices are: Sky Dome, Physical Sky, Image Based, or None.
Output: contains parameters which control where the output files will be written, how the image will be rendered, and
which export options to use.
Options: contains various plugin user-Preferences which are used to determine various plugin behaviors.
