first normal map test.....and a quick question

fritz

well here it is....my first normal map test. i'm using metabump9 to view everything in the viewer. i have a quick question tho: when i try to render my image it won't render out the normals. is this "normal"? like say i finished my first normal mapped character and i wanted to present it. if you can't render the normals...how do you present? screengrab? anyways, here's my first test:

When you RTT in max, theres this little thing at the bottom of the RTT window that has options for displaying inviewport and in render, by default showing up in renders is off. thats probably your problem. You can also switch this in the material window too afiak.
