 Please note that this project requires the 3D Studio Max 4.2 SDK.
 You might need to adjust Include and Additional Library Directories according
-to your intallation.
+to your intallation in C++ and Linker settings.
+
+The MAX 4.2 SDK needs adjustment:
+Comment out the following line in max.h
+#include <ctl3d.h>
+So that it reads
+//#include <ctl3d.h
+.
+
+You also need the phyexp.h from Character Studio, which you should place in
+c:\3dsmax42\cstudio\sdk or adjust the Include Directories accordingly.
+
+Someone should port that project to a newer MAX SDK Version, but that is
+really beyond the current scope.
