I'm personally looking foward to getting to know shell modifier - Apparently this allows to build a shell around parts of object based on vertex normals. Shells would allow to easily create Mech (or other tech) look.

More info on 3DSMAX 6

30-day trial will be available for download some time in October. I'll write up a review of it when I can get my hands on a copy 8)

bah! blender has had those for at least 5 years now.

ah well, maybe i should get around to learning 3ds max as well. can you animate models in max and export them for games like quake models (i'm not talking about gmax)?

I'm not sure about game spesific exports, but I'm sure you can find converters from .3ds to just about anything.

Its ASCII exports are really easy to read too - Catalyst was using those for his models in Turing programs Wink
