[edit:13 april 2005] when you open the file, 3dsmax may ask you for plugins .DLT or .DLR but this project DO NOT need any of them, so you can just skip the message]

[edit:01 spetember 2005] 3dsmax format provides shader and rendering setup, for other 3d packages you may look at the picture for the lightning setup and set your own shader (it is rather easy): raytrace material 0-5% opacity / 5-10% reflection / 100% refraction / Indice Of Refration (IOR) = 2.4175 / (+ strong shininess setting if you need it) sorry for any past misunderstanding]

-> With 3dsmax, Run the rendering through the video post and add an output event to set the output file format
