Rendering

I would like to render a *.MTS file but have no clue where to start. What kind of applications should I look into & which ones have demos for me to try out?

might be a place to start looking. Can you give me more details on the file you are trying to render? gmax is a free program so it can't hurt to try it out. max is free for 30 days but if you never used it then I suggest gmax to start off.

MTS(4.01 & 4.10) is a file in EA F1 Challenge 99-02 which is the car's shape. I can import the file to 3DS but changing back it back to MTS causes it to be invicible in the game or causes it to crash, problems seems to be with the Material Properties.
