You can use this file in the Combustion software, and you can use Combustion workspaces in the Combustion map on page 5811. WARNING If you are rendering elements to composite over a background, make sure that the file format for the Diffuse, Shadows, and Alpha elements supports an alpha channel. The formats we recommend for this purpose are: RLA on page 7364, RPF on page 7366, PNG on page 7360, or TGA on page 7370. WARNING 3ds Max supports some file types that Combustion does not. For use with Combustion, do not render elements as EPS files. If you render to this format, the CWS file is not saved.
