Compositing with max?

[aesnakes]

I havnt used max in a while, but up by the render tabs there should be a button that looks like 3 layers or pieces of paper stacked. Press this and It should bring up a render layer editor.

The layers in max is fine for keeping an overview of your scene and various elements - but for rendering in passes it misses a few key points. If you want to render out eg. houses and trees in seperate passes, you need atleast one of those layers to respect the other in terms of transparency - so the right stuff is on top. Using the builtin layers in max you would need to apply matte/shadow materials to the "cutting layer" when rendering out the layer you want.

- I hope that made sense... :)

Depending on how much work you have to put through needing layers, you might want to check out RPManager:
