Lightmap Ltd., makers of HDR Light Studio, and Next Limit Technologies, creators of Maxwell Render, have announced HDR Light Studio Live for Maxwell Render, a plugin that provides users with a new approach to lighting objects.

This point release also includes a watermarked demonstration version of HDR Light Studio Live for Maxwell Render. A demo version of Maxwell Render is also available.
