Hey thanks for that Sam.
I'm at a loss with MAX and 3D in general. where's the best place on the net to go for information.
I am interesed in the details. My drawing is ok but I have no idea how to go about the "pull and weld points untill you have a face" bit. I'm sure you haven't got the time to walk newbies through something as simple as this. so I was wondering what your suggestions were so far as learinig this sort of thing.
Sorry to bug, I feel like an idiot asking, but I have this copy of MAX on my computer and I NEED to learn it to get a job, but I'm getting nowhear fast. I thought seeing as you were so experianced in the field you might have some suggestions. |

| Actually the best place to start if you don�t know max at all is the tutorials, I�m not just saying that to be an ass. I have not gone through the tutorials since r1 but I just opened up the r3 tuts the other day and they are great! I am going to go through some of them. If you don�t have the manuals you can also go to http://max3d.3dluvr.com/ that�s a great place to start. Good luck and don�t get into switching from package to package some one will say "oh lightwave is better or Maya" it really doesn�t matter anymore they all have really strong tools just stick w/ one. (I have used them ALL I used to teach maya and light wave but I think max is the most well rounded package out there and w/ r4 coming out there is very little it will not do now.) |

Much apreciated. I've had a look at the tutorials, and they seem good in theory however, the subject matter is pretty dull.
But I'll have another go.  I think my problem is mostly attributed to the overwhelming anout of buttons in the app. it's daunting.
Thax for your input

3dluvr.com is great, along with 3dcafe.com. there are a gajillion head tutorials out there, but as said before, make sure you have the 2d shiznit down well; it helps a lot. oh and ref pics are hard as hell to find, so i'm going to buy a digital camera/scanner and get some mug shots of the fam
w/o ref pic:
