Hey guys,
Yeah I just recently did the same thing for a DVD with a buddy of mine, but it was a castle instead of a classroom. Basically this is what we did:
– (I used cinema 4d instead though): I rendered out everything that we needed, the intro up to the scene, then each sequence “into the doors/windows” all seperately. I would do this first on a really crappy quality especially if you are using lights, or having anything moving wether its lights, shadows, or objects (I had some flame effects and volumetric lighting going on).
– Try the whole process with low rendering in max because stupid issues will come up as you import and edit things via max or the DVD authoring software. For example, we had a swinging torch lamp above the main door, when the movie looped, we had to sync this up down to the “T”
– then just put a invisible button over the doors, like a highlighting of the text or a highlight of the door frame, etc for each link.
– Basically the other guy was dead on right, and we did it this way, our biggest issue was with the text being blurry and screen safety areas…. and of course rendering the scene out to look realistic.

Sorry this is verbose, but if you need any more help, I can break it down into much more detailed steps if needed be.

hope this helps!
