	Once you've reset the bind pose on all the meshes, you can now export your model as .fbx and .dae, go to the folder you created earlier that you put the textures folder inside of, and export them into that folder and you should be done and ready to render then submit! I highly suggest installing OpenCollada and exporting with that instead of the default collada exporter included with 3DS Max due to compatibility issues with other programs.
