Transparent Backgrounds in 3dSMAX

[Philip JP]

AAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys I need some one who is smarter than me to help.
I don't know how to render my 3dsm photo and have it keep a transparent background when I open the image in Photoshop 7.0.

I though if i saved it as a PNG and keep the alpha channel that might work. But sadly I suck.

I could use some help.

.png is the way i go...

save it a as .png + alpha and choose max. bit rate.

PS 7.0 opens them fine, afaik.
in PS 6.0 you need to open them with ImageReady first - save 'em as .psd there...
(when you open them directly with PS6, you´ll end up with a black bg...single layer)
