I Need an INTRODUCTION to modeling

I got 3ds max 4.2, but i'm clueless with it! i don't get on bit of it. Could someone explain the nonesense to me like views, how to edit stuff, how to make stuff like weapons....

In order to really get started in a modeling program, you need to get used to the basics. And to do that I would suggest going over to www.3dbuzz.com. Register, then go to the download section on the left, and get the 3ds max videos. I think they are for 3dsmax 5 now, but they will still be helpful to you.

Thats how I got started, good luck

I toughed it out on my own for the most part. This was my second creation.

...Here we go...

what do u already know how to do? can u do anything with the program, or do u need a COMPLETE tut?

i can't do ANYTHING!

Oxalic, check the tutorials; I wrote a really simple one as an intro to model editing, using 3dsmax.

Give that a shot.

He's right, off to the tutorials with you! When you do know how to do something and get stuck feel free to PM me... I know everything... well sorta..

rrriiight........if you know everything there is to know about modelling, then Im Wolverines evil twin :P
jk

well, I just figured it out through Trial and Error

yeah, just work through some of the beginning tutorials, till u get a feel for how to navigate the app, and maybe some basic modeling tecniques, then PM me if u have trouble

Hey mad, show us some of your work, then maybe he'l make a decision to PM you

fair enough
