Must be a simple question for all you 3d dudes out there. When you�re working with max or maya(or whatever you use), what are the best and most effective techniques for organic modeling?

[Darklighter]

right, i like to use whatever gets the job done fastest, usually box-modelling though.... nothing wrong with the occasional patch model in max or nurbs in maya

I don't think there's a best technique. I use point by point modeling in general, to build a basic mesh and then use Lightwave's editing tools to edit that and add geometry. Others use other methods. Experiment.

It definately depends on wheather you're doing animation og still imagery, I think.
With vertice (point by point?) modelling you have absolute control, but ofcourse it won't be as smooth and all, untill you "add" some subdivisions.

ok thanks, i mainly want to do still images, i tried subdiv surfaces in maya and several techniques in max. the maya head looked best though.
