Hmm, I will have to play around with this for a bit. Do some testing to see if it will infact keep the properties of raytraced images, however I am thinking there will still be a bunch of problems.

If worse comes to worse, I guess that I will have to render two images, one of my truck in 3ds, with a certain color background, and use a paint program to drop in the scene from vue. However with the reflections again, the reflective bits on the truck will probably not have a reflection of the environment. Unless I can figure out some way to render my vue scene to a hdri image which shouldn't (key word) be too difficult. Then I could use the HDRI image in MAX and get the appropriate reflections... Looks like this might be somewhat difficult!

Thank you for your responses!
