Q: Are licenses valid for 30 days or until the end of the calendar month?

Our licensing system counts time from the date of purchase . So your plan will auto-renew (or auto-cancel, according to your account settings) after 30 natural days.

Q: Can I use Maverick Excelsior for non-jewelry 3D models?

No . You can't. From its inception, Maverick Excelsior has been designed to be a jewelry-exclusive solution. The physics simulation framework we use for light transfer and material appearance is specific to the needs of precious metals and gemstones. Also, only jewelry materials and ambiences calibrated for objects the size of jewelry pieces are featured in the Web Excelsior Editor library.

Q: Is there a trial version available?

There is no trial version of the Web Excelsior Editor. However, you can review the Docs Area to learn what Excelsior can do, or schedule a live demo with our team by sending us an email at: info@maverickexcelsior.com Additionally, you can find many jewelry picture/video/interactive examples in our Gallery Page . The interactive examples in the gallery run through the Web Excelsior Viewer and are representative of the performance and visual quality of Maverick Excelsior.

Q: Do I always have to be online to use the Editor?

Yes , you do. The Web Excelsior Editor is a web application hosted in our cloud servers which you can access directly from your web browser. This means that no software installation on your computer is required. Simply access our website and you're good to go. But this naturally means that a running online connection is mandatory.

Q: Does Maverick Excelsior have any specific hardware requirements?

No . Broadly speaking, it doesn't. Maverick Excelsior runs directly on the web browser and is built on top of WebGL, which is a widely-adopted industry standard for 3D graphics. This means that any modern device with a web browser should be compatible. For example, any desktop or laptop computer, tablet or mobile phone from the past 5+ years should be able to explore interactive content through the Web Excelsior Viewer. In order to use the Web Excelsior Editor we recommend a desktop or laptop computer, though. Those provide more computational power, and usually come with a much larger display. These characteristics allow for a much better experience when importing, editing and previewing content. On the other hand, the Web Excelsior Viewer is built to run virtually anywhere . Note, however, that performance may suffer in older or lower-end devices.

Q: Is Maverick Excelsior subscription-only?

Yes , it is. Maverick Excelsior is a web application hosted in our cloud servers. As such, the Web Excelsior Editor is SaaS ( Software-as-a-Service ) and requires an active plan in order to run. Depending on the use you intend to make of Maverick Excelsior, different pricings and feature-sets are available. These are listed in our electronic shop: https://maverickexcelsior.com/buy/

Q: Can my 3D models be stolen if I publish them with the Viewer?

No . Our file format is protected. Maverick Excelsior exports interactive models in our proprietary file format .WEBEX, which can only be written from the Web Excelsior Editor and can only be viewed with the Web Excelsior Viewer. In particular, Excelsior does not use generic file formats like .GLB or .GLTF like other solutions do.
