Using State Sets in 3ds Max - Part 1- Introduction

In this tutorial, you learn to create and manage State Sets. From what the words imply, State Sets provide you with a way to maintain and manage different states of your scene. In its simplest form, you can use it to control the visibility of objects but it goes way beyond this type of trivial functionality. State Sets are mostly useful for Render-pass-management and ultimately provide you with a portal for post-compositing in Adobe After Effects.
