Scene Manager Tabs & Toolbar
The toolbar located below the Scene Manager’s tabs strip is context-sensitive; it holds slightly-different controls, depending on which
tab page is currently being shown:
Most of the pages contain a ‘Reset’ button and ‘Presets’ drop-down. The Reset button simply sets all parameters in the current page
back to default. Default means one of two things: the default settings used by the plugin as installed, or the user-defined default
settings. The way you define your own defaults is to use the ‘Defaults’ item found at the bottom of the Presets menu:
Clicking ‘Store Current’ will set the current state of the page as your user-defined default, while clicking ‘Reset’ will return the factory
settings. Similarly, clicking ‘Create Preset’ stores the current state of the page into a user-defined preset which may be recalled any time
in the future. The materials page has no controls in the toolbar, while the Camera and Output pages have only the Reset button and
Presets drop-down. The Location & Time page has, in addition to Reset and Presets, a toggle-button which enables the plugin’s
viewport Sun display:
Toggling-on this button will also enable the Sun in the exported MXS file. However, since it is not always desirable to have the Sun
enabled in the viewport, toggling this button off does not also disable the Sun in the exported MXS file; to turn the Sun off in the
render, un-check the Use Sun checkbox in the Environment page.
The Environment page has two extra buttons which are used to import and export Maxwell .sky preset files, which hold all of the
information required to define Maxwell’s atmosphere, location, date, and time:
