Can you reveal a tutorial on how-to? Options

According to what Seifer said at the topic below is this possible to have a tutorial on how to properly render the model?
Meanwhile I've been working on scorpio model, all's fine until it goes about rendering...
The problem is with:
1. the palette after rendering - DLTCEP uses different one and forcing/loading palette from other bams creates pixelosity...
2. forcing shadows under object (a scorpio) - blurs the "green" environment - you can't have shadows if no object is under the scorpio (I put a plane with 0,151,151 color) but then the object's color is messed and doesn't display "black" in DLTCEP...
3. How to have a transparent shadows under?

I'm not a specialist on 3D max, but I can understand what to do if described.

If someone could direct me a bit I can handle few animations for all of us...
