Is there a better way to do this except of just making a cylinder and keep rotating + extruding until u get it? Im happy for any suggestion you make.

btw. around 2800 faces... (where is the polycount function in 3dsmax 9 Oo? lol)

EDIT:
I made it more symmetrical:

richie_lich	You might try a proportional edit and rotate the endpoints. I'm not familar with any 3dsmax functions however...

Daminon	2800 polys isn't highpoly. TDR says 10 000+. Anyway there is a polygon counting thing in max but I don't have acces to it at the moment so I can't give an exact description where to find it.

TDR	Actually the polygon counter seems to be missing in max 9, haven't found it either. Instead I set to display the statistics in the viewport, which displays the polycount. I'm moving this to low poly.

Meai	Proportional edit? What do you mean with that? Im already taking polygons and rotating them around, so a round thing emerges.

richie_lich	Proportional edit would allow you to roate the polygons around with one motion and give you better elliptical continuity
