Z Min The minimum distance to include in the Z-depth rendering. This is
a value in 3ds Max units, and cannot be less than 0.0. Default=100.0
Z Max The maximum distance to include in the Z-depth rendering. This is
a value in 3ds Max units. Default=300.0
Update Lets the software automatically determine the depth range of objects
in the rendered view. When on, after completion of a rendering, the software
changes the Z Min and Z Max values to reflect what the renderer determined.
Typically, you would make a single test rendering with this on, and then turn
off the check box.
