Thank you, thank you, thank you my brother! I have been modeling an armored angel character for a game demo for a class and have been fighting with growing my leg out properly. My instructors are all about poly modeling and only briefly mentioned spline modeling. 5 minutes with this and I had my base leg and with the shape this creates it was very easy to pull the knee guard out after collapsing. Worked great for the arm as well and the sections break apart and convert to bones nicely as well.
thankyou soo much you should create a website with you vids and add a paypal setup for donations so you can make some money when people feel like giving back also use a site like addfly to mask you link soo when ever people click your website link u get paid THX again
wow, what an interesting approach to modeling! Very different than polygons and seems a little more simple. Almost like drawing instead of sculpting. Cheers!
Does the cross section modifier work in a way that allows me to start with a rectangle on the bottom and 45mm UP have a circle and then cross section and surface the two?
this is DEFINATELY something i needed to watch, i've always wondered how to model something as complicated as the human body, ive been doing guns for months now and its getting rather boring
You lost me at surface tools,when you say "surface tools", do u mean that i have to copy every single circle you've made there or is it a tool 3ds max already prepared??? if it is, then where is it? i don't really see it anywhere??
I guess I should have made it more clear....Surface Tools is a collection of modifiers, mainly "Cross Section" and "Surface" modifier. I show how to use both modifiers in this video. Yes you have to draw these 5 circles and position them the way I have in the beginning. Good Luck.
Excellent tutorial, well paced and clearly explained. I currently am working on modeling some denim jeans using garmnet maker and cloth modifier, i am just having trouble with uv mapping, was wondering if you could spare your ten cents in my prjects, many thanks in advance.
Very nice! That was a quick and easy method of creation. I really should poke around more often in that Modifier list.....lots of cool things in there.
I have a serious problem..my transform gizmo doesn't show up...the thing that when you hit "Move" the y and x axis mover thing pops up...that is gone, I really can't stand it being gone, so please anyone help me..I've already hit x to try to have it show...help please!
If that's on and you've tried hitting 'x' on the keyboard then it should appear unless you don't have any object selected or the move tool selected. If all is checked, then you might need to delete your 3dsmax.ini file and that should fix it.

I am trying to follow this tutorial, but every time I try to apply the surface modifier, the leg disappears! I think it may be to do with the circles of the leg not being attached to the vertical lines created by the cross section. I have followed the tutorial exactly - what could I have done wrong? Cheers
If the circles are not attached or have more than 4 segments, you don't get any surface. Make sure to create one circle and then make copies of it in Z axis.
looks so easy and you have explained it excellently. your head modeling tutorials were great and easy to follow. so i thank you for your time to do these tutorials and look forward to future tuts.
just a quick question i notice your using 3d max 8 or 9 i think, not sure but i have version 7, so will this still work with my version? oh and im missing the tutorials that came with 3d max 7, would you recommend any other tuts before starting yours?
Yeah it works in 7 also. I'm glad you liked my videos, I'll do more in future as time allows. You should really comfirtable with the basics before doing modeling tutorials. The out of box tutorials should be on your disc and you might need to copy them manually.

If that's on and you've tried hitting 'x' on the keyboard then it should appear unless you don't have any object selected or the move tool selected. If all is checked, then you might need to delete your 3dsmax.ini file and that should fix it.
