    maxwell path
    The explicit path to Maxwell v2 executable on the Workers.

    Enable CoOp Renders
    Perform a cooperative render. Setting this to co-op will create a secondary MXIMerge job that combines the finished MXI's upon completion. Make sure you set the "Instances" parameter to more than 1, in the "Qube Job Basics" section above.

    Coop Total SL
    If CoOp rendering is selected above, this sets the sampling level for the final render, when the MXIs are all merged. Set to 0 to have all instances respect the value set in the "Sampling Level" box below.

    Sampling Level
    Override the render quality level set in the MXS.

    Render Time Limit
    Time (in minutes) that the renderer is allowed to run (per-frame), overrides the Time value saved in MXS.

    Resume Rendering
    Automatically resume the render if the MXI file exists.

    MXS scene file
    The MXS scene to render. This is a required field for submission. Important: Make sure that the Workers have access to this file path.

    outputImage
    This will override the full path and name of the image file specified in the MXS scene. Important: Make sure that the Workers have access to this file path.

    MXI output file
    The MXI output file containing information about the rendering process.  This allows for resuming a previously rendered image.  If not specified, the MSI will use the same name and path as the MXS scene.

    script
    Names a script to load and run on the Worker(s).

    prescript
    Names a prescript to load and run on the Worker(s).

    postscript
    Names a postscript to load and run on the Worker(s).

    bitmaps
    Set an alternative folder path for the location of the bitmaps. If set to "0", it will discard all the bitmaps.

    overridemat
    Override all the materials in the scene using the materials found at the given path. Make sure that path is visible to all the Workers.

    curdir
    Set the current directory during the render. This is useful where relative paths are used to locate textures and other dependencies.

    dependencies
    Set an alternative folder path for the dependencies location.

    resume
    This resumes a previously rendered image and update the MXI file.

    renameoutput
    When this flag is used, Maxwell Render does not write the MXI file directly to the given output path; instead, it will write to a temporary file and then rename/move the result to the final path.

    res
    Overrides the scene resolution defined in the file. Format is WxH, e.g., 800x600

    region
    Describes a region type to render, along with its coordinates. The format is "type,x1,y,x2,y2" where "type" is one of "full", "region" or "blowup" and "x1,y1,x2,y2" are the coordinates of the rectangular region to render or enlarge.

    depth
    Overrides the image depth settings in the scene file.

    channels
    Overrides the channels that Maxwell will export, as defined in the scene file. Possible channels are r, a, ao, s, m, i, zmin, zmax.

    channel
    Overrides each exported channels export status and format. The format is [channel_name],[on|off],[depth(8,16,32)],[format]. All the parameters are optional except for the first one. Examples: channel:alpha,on,32,tif... channel:material... channel:object,off

    zmin
    Overrides the zmin values of the zbuffer channel.

    zmax
    Overrides the zmax values of the zbuffer channel.

    alphaopaque
    Enable opaque mode in the alpha channel.

    alphaembedded
    Enables embedded alpha.

    embedded
    Embeds the selected channel when the output format allows it.

    channelsembedded
    Enable/disable embedding all the channels as images layers if the format supports it.

    color
    Overrides the color space setting in the scene file.

    camera
    Specifies a camera to render. If not specified, will default to the active camera.

    defaultmat
    Overrides the path to the default materials.

    burn
    Overrides the burn value set in the scene file.

    gamma
    Overrides the gamma value set in the scene file.

    pass
    Overrides the render pass that is set in the scene file.

    multilight
    Enables the multi-light function for storing an MSI file with separate information about the emitters.

    extractlights
    If this is enabled, each light will be saved in a separate file.

    devignetting
    Overrides the scene file's setting (or default) for the devignetting value.

    scattering
    Overrides the scene file's setting (or default) for the scattering value.

    displacement
    Enables the displacement calculations for the whole scene. Not necessary if not already set in the scene file.

    dispersion
    Enables the dispersion calculations for the whole scene. Not necessary if not already set in the scene file.

    motionblur
    Enables motion blur calculations for the whole scene. Not necessary if not already enabled in the scene file.

    dodevignetting
    Enables devignetting for the whole scene. Not necessary if not already enabled in the scene file.

    doscattering
    Enables lens scattering. Not necessary if not already enabled in the scene file.

    verbose
    Verbosity level. Choose the level of detail you would like the logs to provide.

    threads
    The number of threads to render with (0 means use the maximum available).

    priority
    The Maxwell Renderer process priority.

    slupdate
    The number of seconds between sampling refreshes. If not set, the engine will choose an interval automatically.

    mintime
    Set the time to impose a minimum time for saving MXI files to disk. This is the equivalent of the preference "Min.Time"

    nomxi
    Force Maxwell Render to save only the output image, and not the MXI file.

    Internal(Range)
    Sequence of frames to render, overriding the scene settings. The format is comma-separated frames and frame ranges. For example, 12,21-30,99-102 would render frame 12, frames 21-30, and frames 99-102.
