does any one have any tutorials for 3dstudio max? i have it but idont know how to use it very well

its been a while but last time i used max they had some pretty well written tutorial manuals

you could try http://www.shadowness.com/index.php , they have quite a few tutorials :/

go to the bookstore

(or find an e-book online......though u didnt hear that tip from me :D )

Seriously. Max is one hell of a program, and if you want to learn you really need something specific...like an entire chapter on the interface...then one on lighting....then 6 on modeling and 4 on texturing etc. Tutorials are good......but only when you want a specific effect etc.

As for me.....i know a few discount bookstores, so i snagged some older books (version 3 & 4) in somewhat ok condition (w/ cd's) for about $5-$10. Might not be a bad idea for you to look around.....and buy some older versions! mostly the same info as the newer $50 books. Just a tip :D

I haven't checked in a while, but http://www.creativecow.com I think has some, although it does have a somewhat oldskool style of forum interface.

Try the ones that come with the program 1st, they are pretty comprehensive

3dcafe.com or .net... I forget which but you have to go into "Free Stuff"... they've got some good ones...

My friend goes to http://www.maxforums.org ....
