Anyone Familiar with 3DS Max?

If you are, I need a little help. I've just finished modeling a (very, very bad because I suck at this. like 3 year old drawing bad) interior and now I need to take 5 render shots of it. I keep looking for tutorials but everything I find deals with fancy lighting set ups and mental rays or vrays (which I have no idea how to use and aren't helping anyway).

To put it simply, I need to know how to get "inside" the room and render a shot as if I was psychically there taking a picture. I keep trying to navigate my way in but nothing works. I'm always outside of the entire room. Any help is appreciated.

Place your room model in a scene, and put the scene's camera inside the room.

I haven't used 3DS in years, but I recall there's a separate animation mode. That's where you need to do the render, not in model mode.

Thanks for the help. I figured out what it was. I was modelling in orthographic view (which makes everything harder because it's a "sculptor's" view) and needed to be in perspective to get the scene camera to move with the mouse. Then I could set up all my cameras inside the room, change the view to each camera, and render it from there.
