as environment maps, as Image Input events in Video Post, or as images
projected from a light.
An image file can be a single still image, or a sequence of images that form a
video sequence or animation. When you assign an animation for use as a
bitmap, then the image changes over time when you render the 3ds Max
scene.
NOTE Bitmaps are reloaded automatically after they have been changed and
resaved by a graphic editing program. See the Reload Textures On Change toggle
in File Preferences on page 7541 .
When you render a scene, you can render a still image or an animation. You
can render to most of the formats listed below. Some of the formats support
various options. If there are output options, these appear in a dialog that is
described along with the image file's format.
These are the image file formats supported by 3ds Max:
