I dont ahve 3DMax, only Gmax.You need to apply the info to gmax(which is made by the same people and is basically jsut a stripped down free version).Some information is also only for C&C Renegade, but most of it still applies to generals.
The parts that deal wioth material application are C:\Program Files\RenegadePublicTools\HowTo\W3D Tutorials\content\w3d_materials.htm however they dont tell you how to create effects, they jsut give you a description of what each button/menu and its options are.
Ill make a tute on making see through reflective surfaces once I have a better understanding of the settings.
You dont need to add polys to add the effect, but I added the pilots and some polys in the cockpit to stop it being see thru and so I can apply texture.Of course, using effects is more costly on performance than not using effects.
