Hello everybody!

We have just uploaded a new version of Maxwell Render to the Download Area in the Customer Gateway! It's version number is 3.2.1.4 which has been promoted from the Early Builds site to the official Download Area. It's mainly a maintenance release which includes several important bug fixes.

You can get it from here: https://portal.nextlimit.com/

Please, be aware that the mxi files made with version 3.2.1.3 and newer won't open in version 3.2.1.2 and older.


We hope you enjoy it!

These are the release notes for this version:

MAXWELL RENDER 3.2.1.4

This version also includes the fixes addressed in previously released Early Build version 3.2.1.3:
