BerconMaps require Max 9, 2008 or 2009. They support both 32 and 64 bit versions.

Copy the file into your 3dsmax plugins folder (for example: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2008\plugins).

If you get error while starting max once you've copied the correct version (32/64) of the file into your plugins folder you need to instal Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package, its a small file and doesn't require VS2005 or anything.

I have run into issues trying to use the tiles map as a bump. I can get correct shading on one axis(U or V), but the other is always flipped. Seems odd since the map works fine as displacement.
