Showing off a mesh to best advantage?
polycounter lvl 20
My biggest problem to date on showing off a mesh has been I have no clue how to properly render it, so that the Normal Map and Specular Maps show up well.
I use 3DS Max r7. Is there a simple way to render the model so that it shows off how it would look in-game? Or a freeware model viewer that is relatively easy to export to that supports the various map types I can screencap from?
I would highly appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction, even if it's just a tutorial link...

and Keg's looks promising.

Also look up ben cloward, JI styles, and bryce vandermootle's viewport shaders, but i'm not sure which versions of max the last one works with.
EDIT: Ugh... Keg's simply doesn't run for me at all, the scripts confuse me, and Xnormal won't take a screenshot. >.< Guess I'll have to start playing around with it...
Ironbearxl: I have UT3, how do I export to its model viewer?

Now to figure out what sort of settings I need on Specular Level and Glossiness to replicate the 'typical' game engine output...
