[Nel] mouse picking and 3dsmax binaries

[Heri RAKOTOMALALA]

Hello,

i have a couple of questions :
1 - i have this 3d scene rendered and i just want to select/pick a scenery object with the mouse so that the app shows object name and characteristics. i did a quick search in Nel but i didn't manage to find something

so is the mouse picking already present or do i have to build the solver myself ?

2 - i want now to import the models in nel but i don't have 3dsmax. and i don't have Max.h which is needed to compile this plug in. BUT the cool thing is i've got a friend who has the soft with maxsdk but he doesn't have all the libraries and visual c and everything. so my question, is it possible that someone sends me the binaries so i just put these in an USB key and transfer the files. or maybe someone has it one a website. this would be really helpful because there is no way this guy would never let me install visaul c and the libs on his computer.

3 - if i just have a 3d model with just vertices (no textures, no animations, no lightmaps etc...) is there a way to transform these models in .shape format without 3dsmax


thanks a lot
