Internal signatures

Maxwell Render Material File

Description
BOF: 'MXM' {5-64} 0x000000. It may be possible to enhance this signature and to distinguish between different versions. Please contact the PRONOM team if you can assist with this.
Provenance
Observation from samples. 4 bytes following MXM seem to be fixed patterns, but meaning is unclear. Next byte is length of the file name, bytes beginning at 0x08 are file name, followed by 4 bytes of which three seem to always be 0x000000.
