Nicely done! Thanks a bunch. Even though I've been Max/GMax modeling for nearly a decade, there's always something new to learn, and different techniques to try out. :icon29:

You are evil for the following reasons:

#1 - You're using MAX, which has all sorts of nice modifiers ... I dabble in gmax, which doesn't (it just takes a bit longer, after adding edit mesh modifier, then slice modifier, then edit mesh modifier, each time you want to "slice" the polygons.

#2 - In gmax, in about 15 minutes after watching your video, I've done something I haven't been able to in (x=# of years gmax came out) years of having gmax - create a credible basic wing shape.


#3 So THAT's what you can use the FFD modifier!!

#4 Note to self - ALT-X also works in gmax.

<grumble>


All kidding aside now (well, for the moment) - I am one not prone to video tutorials but I am glad that I ventured into these. They were clear in purpose, clear in delivery, and did not go into sidebars - you can also do this, etc.. - except on quick on screen notes.


Again, my sincere thanks for the presentations.

The moral is, Felix, experiment and explore! And don't be afraid to!
