i am not done making any renders for myself or skinning them, which i have no idea how to do, but when i finish, how do i send my gmax renders into the finalbig editor's format and then save it in a file not already there?

First of all, you'll need the RenX addon for Gmax  in order to convert GMAX files into the W3D format that Generals uses. (instructions here )

Second, you can save finished W3D models to the [Generals]\Art\W3D\ directory (create it if it doesn't exist).
