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.

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.

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.

wow, what an interesting approach to modeling! Very different than polygons and seems a little more simple. Almost like drawing instead of sculpting. Cheers!
