Is there any possibility to use C4D instead of 3DS? I've got both but I prefer C4D. :/ You'll need to import the .3ds files, and re-texture it yourself. Btw, any chance you could to me a favor (or anyone else with C4D)? I need this helmet converting to .3ds, if you wouldnt mind.. www.dpostill.karoo.net/downloads/free%20-%20Crash%20Helmet.zip

You're a star matey, thanks a lot! I dont have C4d, otherwise i would help you out. But i know it can import 3ds files, so if you follow this tutorial and know what you're doing in C4d, it shouldnt be to difficult to get it done. Good luck, and if it doesnt work, atleast you have a copy of 3d max you can use.

Having a stab at this tutorial and have not used 3D Studio for a looooong time. In fact, the last one I used worked under a DOS environment! LOL Anyways, I'm at the part where I want to create the Reflection Box - though the creation of it isn't the problem, getting it off the floor is! In fact, anything I create sticks to the floor like snot to a blanket! Anyone got any ideas as to which setting I'm overlooking? 3D Studio MAX 7... Thanks guys...

finally some satisfactory renders but with some small problems. (Thanks to grouchy_smurf for the material's and HDRI.) Rendered in 3ds max 7 with mental ray. Click for larger picture. My headlights are a little too dark and i cant seem to do anything to fix that. whatever i tried only made it SLIGHTLY lighther. pls remember that i'm limited to mental ray and the stock renderer. brazil's limited-res sucks. how many of you guy's FZR's have textured rear lights? mine just comes out grey so i fix that by assigning it to a new material and colour it. btw, I also wanna know how to make the ground plane reflect the car. but i dont want to be able to see the HDRI lighting. EDIT: i've managed to make the headlights a little more lighther to be able to see the lights inside better while retaining the dark tint. i like it that way for this render. but lets say i want it clear transparent like the way most of you do it, what settings should i use? i'm using mental ray, cant use u guys' brazil settings, it wont turn out the way it should be.

Dont think there is one yet, have you tried using the version 6 one?
It works in version 7, so i dont see why it wont work with 8.

I know the plugin for MAX5 did not work with MAX6. Sometimes small changes in versions cause the older files to be incompatible. Can your MAX8 handle MAX6 scenes? If so just try the pre-made scenes of all the cars that are already available and you don't need to bother converting cmx files at all.
It might be worth a try.
