What is the difference between Maxwell’s materials and others?

Maxwell’s materials are more realistic than ever. Inside Maxwell, materials are modelled in a physically correct manner. They are defined from their BSDF curves (Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function). With the material editor, the materials can be defined in the same way as materials exist in the real world. The user can create Sub Surface Scattering, thin layer interference, light emission, etc. And you can mix them all using layers.

Our materials work cross-platform. This means that you can create materials within your own application and share it with users of other applications. For example, if you use Maya for Mac, your materials can also be used by someone who uses 3dsMax for PC.

And the best part of it is that you don’t need to pay anything. You can get all of them for free!

We would like to thank Thomas Anagnostou for donating the scene that we are using to test all materials uploaded on the mxm website.
