Some 3D Studio Max tutorials that are very good. The first one is targeted toward the beginner and is about the interface. The second is on basic model creation and getting started. Then in the third one we put in textures, then on to dealing with lighting, and finishing up with makin the suckah move. A fairly nice little set. Head over and look.

[http://max3d.3dluvr.com/tutorials/mms/ Mesh Modeling All the Way] by [mailto:strat@mail.bip.net Claes Wikdahl]
This tutorial explains the techniques and concepts behind mesh modeling as the author does it. It covers the basics and up, so that even beginners can get the hang of it. At the same time, this is all you need to know to create some really advanced models. This is really good stuff and almost required reading.

[http://jurassic.mpog.com Unwrapping tutorials] by [http://jurassic.mpog.com/ Vision Studios]
A fabulous tutorial explaining how to generate texture co-ordinates for 3d models (unwrapping), from one bitmap to multiple bitmaps on a single mesh.

[http://www.loonygames.com/content/1.13/totb/ Character Modeling] by [mailto:psteed@idsoftware.com Paul Steed]
Mr. Steed does a very nice tutorial on basic model creation in MAX. He shows us step by step creation of a character model including a few redos of some sections of the model. The model his called Sleeg, but it very well could be the start of the Sorlag model for Q3A. Comes in 3 parts: http://www.loonygames.com/content/1.14/totb/ part2]] [[http://www.loonygames.com/content/1.16/totb/ part3

[tutorials/NURBS-mapping/Nurbs-mapping.shtml Character Texture Mapping Via NURBS projection] by [mailto:benny@kainai.de Benny Edlund]
A very interesting approach to doing texture mapping with NURBS and primitives as projection items to help minimize texture stretching and speed mapping.

[http://members.xoom.com/JohnHsia/tut1/edgeturn.html Edge Turn - Inside 3D MAX / volume 1] by John Hsia
Author's Note: Edge turn affects a single, shared edge by redirecting the edge to the other vertices of the two faces.

[http://members.xoom.com/JohnHsia/tut2/extrudearm.html Lets'Grow'Them'Arms - Inside 3D MAX / volume 1] by John Hsia

[../../../myweb/dev_central1/tutorials/ALPHAtut/tut_01.htm Low Polygon Character Generation using 3DSMAX 1.x or 2.0] by [mailto:Alphawolf@planetquake.com Andrew "ALPHAwolf" Gilmour]
This tutorial will guide you to build a low poly single mesh character starting with a box. There are various ways of building LPCs and this is just one method.
It's gotta be a good place to start if it's coming from ALPHAwolf's brain.

[http://www.3dcafe.com/tuts/shark/shark.htm Low Polygon Modeling In MAX R2.5]
Located in the [http://www.3dcafe.com 3D Cafe] by [http://www.platinumpictures.com Platinum Pictures] this modeling tutorial guides users step by step through the process of creating a low polygon shark. To all you budding MAX modelers out there, this could give you a few handy pointers.

[http://www.cschell.com/skinmaxtut.html Model Skinning in Max 2.x] by [http://www.cschell.com/ casManG]
A pretty straightforward tutorial on skinning a model in MAX. This is sort of outdated by MAX 3, but the principles still work if you find you like this better.

A tutorial for modeling weapons and creating mapping coordinates for them.

[http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/resources/general/tutorials/SurfaceTools/SurfaceTools.shtml Surface Tools] by Scott A. H. Ruggels
This method of construction uses the native splines in Max, for the construction of "cages" that define the shape and volume of an object, and then use those splines to generate a surface, which is then converted to a polygonal mesh. Sound complicated? Well it's quickly becoming one of the most popular methods for constructing models.

[tutorials/UVWunwrap/UVWunwrap.shtml Using the UVWunwrap+ modifer] by [mailto:Daz@cybermodels.co.uk Darren "Hitman Daz' Pattenden]
