====== Utility: Overview ======

Although the default options on the main rendering screen of Lasershow Converter MAX will create good results for most scenes, occasionally you may want greater control over the rendering process. Advanced features are accessed using the Lasershow Converter MAX utility plug-in.

Note that the utility plugin must be installed by the user, before it will become visible in 3ds Max. [[tools:lcmax:instal|Click here to learn how to install the utility portion of the plug-in.]]
