Gmax help needed. Building models to be made.

I finally got gmax it is version 1.2 and I want to make my wowish High elf buildings with it. But I don't really know how to make models from scratch being that most of my experience is with geomerging (God bless oinkerwinkle).

I don't know how to animate and the interface is a little confusing and magos's tutorial did'nt help me as much as I hoped.

So can anyone help me with this project.

Wrong forum -- this place is for MDL editing and Milkshape.

I know gmax scripts are buggy or incomplete, you'd better try to get 3ds 5 or milkshape. In alternative take a look to:

Oinkerwinkle's early animating program.
How to rig a model in notepad\magos' editor\vertex modifier.

I tried to get milkshape but I actually had to purchase it in order to save. And 3ds is way out of my budget.

but thanks for the info and tutorials they will help me I hope.

Maybe I could help? I've made a model with gmax (see my crappy pancake model), not very good yet, but if they're only buildings, they can't be that hard, can they?

I've also done a hilariously screwed up (but I did it intentionally) animation for the pancake too.

(If you need any screenshots from WoW my friend plays it like 4 hrs a day O_o, I could ask him to get some for ya)

Would their capital city be good?

Also, I won't be able to do anything for about two weeks (exams coming up) but then I'm virtually free until september.

Thats fine I have exams also and the capital would be fine as well as the HE outpost lodges please.

Try googling "Silvermoon"

You might find some stuff there, I'm sure.

My friend plays alliance, and blood elves are horde, so he kinda can't really go there >_<

Magos' tut is easy.

Sure, a little confusing at first, but try following along.

Make something simple, like a '?' cube.
