MAXWELL RENDER LIGHTING

Real-time HDRI map authoring for Maxwell Studio

HDR Light Studio connected to Maxwell Studio

This page is for the HDR Light Studio plugin for the Maxwell Studio standalone application. You can also use HDR Light Studio with Maxwell Render using our plugins for 3ds Max and Maya.

"HDR Light studio has made lighting faster, more accurate and more fun for me. The traditional way of lighting in CGI always felt awkward to me. After trying out HDR Light Studio on a project, we have never lit any scene without using it."
