Maxwell for Cinema 4D :: Plugin Quick-StartIt is entirely possible to render with Maxwell using only a Scene object. The plugin will automatically convert native C4D materials into Maxwellmaterials at export time, if there are no explicit Maxwell Materials assigned. This is not recommended, of course, as automatically-createdmaterials are not likely to look as good or perform as well as custom Maxwell Materials.Similarly, it is not really necessary to create a Camera tag, unless you wish to use Maxwell-specific features like Z-Clip. All of the commonly-adjustedparameters of a camera are inferred either from C4D’s Render Settings, or from the Scene’s Default Exposure group, found in the Output tab. TheObject Properties and Rendering Region tags are also strictly elective, as their basic purposes are to exclude information.So, to begin with, all you really need to do is create a Scene. To do that, click ‘Scene’ in the plugin’s main menu:In the C4D Attribute Manger, you should now see this:4
This is all you need to render using all of the default settings. If you were to have a simple model already built when you created the new Scene,clicking on the ‘Render Render View’ (the first button) would get you an image something like this:As you can see, the defaults use Maxwell’s Physical Sky and Sun. Possibly, this image is a bit too ‘bright’ for your taste – that is easy to change – justuse the parameters in the ‘Default Exposure’ section of the Scene:Adjust the EV (Exposure Value) parameter to 15, since the objects in the scene are a bit bright. After doing so, render again:Too dark now, let’s try EV=14:As you can see, the EV parameter makes it very easy to adjust the exposure – higher numbers are required for brighter environments, and viceversa.There is a chart at the end of this manual with suggested EVs for different scenarios.5
