Change Background Image in 3DS Max 9
You can change your background image in just a few seconds. Here are the steps:
1. Click "Rendering" (It is located at the center top). (NOTE: you must have an existing image or you already opened a file you want to edit.)
2. Select "Environment".
3. At the "Color" tab, click it and choose the desired color you want or you could press "None" if you want a custom background and you could choose "Bitmap" and select the background you want. Just browse where the image is located.
4. Shift key to render to see model and background you just created.
5. Now you can adjust the model location, resize it, or what ever you want with your background in it.
