Well if you spent thousands of bucks on a program you can certainly afford a 25 buck training CD..

You won\'t use nothing better than a good tutorial book for the program.

Most commonly a Bezier curve. You can make Nurbs surface out of those. They are manipulated by their Control Vertices. But hey, I\'m a Maya and Cinema4D XL man. Not yet as good as Adan though... but i keep on practicing. Right now i\'m busy on a Tekki / Metal Gear kind of Mech and i\'m involved in creating SFX for a lowbudget horror movie.

my head hurts, 3D Studio Max is so hard to use, and its not very user friendly. I have accouple of 3DS models of some cars that I converted from Need For Speed, and I am trying to texture them, but its not working at all.

Im off to Borders tomorrow to buy myself a good tut book, anyone got any they could recommend?

The "inside 3D Studio Max" series are good, I\'ve owned a couple
of them.

This one is for 4... but I think it will teach you the basics..

Hi
thanx for asking

Basically, the movie is just in start-up phase with about
50 ppl involved. The website can be found here :

HorizonicaMovie

It\'s all in Dutch, but here\'s what it\'s about ; A mad scientist
whose sick ( and evil ) mother died, takes revenge on his
old collegue scientists. He gets in a fight with them and in
doing so he unleashes his secret weapon : a zombie virus
into the watersystem. Yes, I know it sounds very cheap RE
ripoff, but hey, I\'m not the one who wrote the script.

Here\'s some captures of the concept demo i made.

I am also working on a Tekki / Metal Gear Solid ripoff mech robot.
Much kudos to ppl who make tech stuff on a regular basis becuz I find doing this rather tough

Anyway, here\' s some
in-progress pics. ( Only the legs\' geometry is done until now ; the rest is place-holders. )

Hello
