Can anyone point me in the direction of any tutorials/instructions for using the LUMINAIRE Max plugin?
Cheers

If using Max 5, luminaire is not useful.
Luminaire is only needed with Max 4.
If you are doing lightmapping, consider gile[s]. It is far superior and easier to use than luminaire and also very cheap.
Duncan isn't supporting luminaire any more I don't think.
I would agree with BloodLocust on this regarding Gile[s].
However I think there is a tutorial on Blitzcoder to bake lightmapped textures and that works fine with lights rendered through MAX 5.
Gile[s] is by far the best way to go with this as it offers other features too and is less than £40.
Also Fredbourg is great at updating Gile[s].
IPete2.
ermm 3dsmax is great for lightmapping
