Re: 3ds Max Help!

we learned 3ds max off of mostly the tutorials in the program itself, it teaches basic modeling ideas and gets your hands "wet" with it just enough
for special effects (such as glow) we found a tutorials on the web

it's a really scary program, I know, but once you put in some time (some? haha), and effort im sure you'll have no problems

and if there is something specific just ask here or on the web (plenty of websites out there, try googling 3ds max tutorials)

about getting models off the internet, we didn't and I think it's cheating
but in any case, most of the good models are for cash, and the prices can get pretty expensive on some of them (ive seen plenty of models over 1,000 $)
