So I wanted to render Ships...

Talk to cshake for your rendering.

Also I do renders in Blender by following these simple steps.
-Get Blender 2.49 (has to be 49 do not get 2.5 alpha 2 or whatever the latest it)
-Import a model into milkshape
-Save it as a milkshape file
-go into blender and file/import/milkshape/your file.
-then move it around a little and hit render. (you can also fiddle with lighting and render quality but that takes more skill)

And about your .ini's. You have to decode them using a program which I can't find. There is a thread with download locations somewhere...

hope I helped.
