Please can I ask you 1 more question:

You said that game companies are looking for people that can edit easily and quickly. But the problem is: if you want to create a véry nice model, then you must make it 'complicated' right? Or you must be a good professional.

Thanks!!!

Max has tools for creating the illusion of modeling without actually building geometry; bump maps, normal maps, and just shades of color (that's how painters work for 3D effects) can make you think there is something there.

Is it to late to start with learning 3DS max? I'am now 14 years (about 3 months 15)

[cadlearning]

All indications are that Max is remaining with continued development by Autodesk. They also now own Maya but people tell me the two products do serve differing users.

From Ted. Don is right, Max should be around for quite a while, so this would be a good time for you to start learning. It's pretty complex software, so be sure to get the fundamentals down before trying the "cool stuff" . What companies are looking for is people who create efficient models that can be edited easily and quickly. Search the internet for a program called Gmax; it's a free version of 3ds Max that is used to create scenes for some games and has many of the tools.

For some reason, your voice reminds me of Pooh. Hahah.

Really, though. These are GREAT tutorials, and thank you for sharing this one. I just wish that there was a way that I could buy them.

The sampler for 3ds, with 8 full sized videos, is at cadlearning dot com /lms

Dude, how many packs do you smoke a day?

I like the way you explain clear and slower then most instructors.

We are still using AutoCAD 2005.

Hi.

Transparent material, you mean? The absolute easiest way is to select the polygon (or the whole shape, if you want it all transparent) and go to material editor, high righ on your screen, and set the "opacity" down, just as on Photoshop, this will make the material transparent and you will see through it.

This will not make it glassy or refracting light like real windows, but it answers your question. Try a tutorial on it, there's plenty of them.
