hello,

i need to learn 3d studio max asap…wht is a good book that would teach me the interface and got tutorials to teach me steo by step?

thanx n adv

Modeling in Discreet 3ds max 6 DVD by George Maestri really does the job. You can learn by looking at tutorials on the web but youll never learn fast like in this DVD because the video really guides you point by point to learn the interface. These are really worth the investment. Each of the links below have video samples

Lynda.com is an online training site…I never used it but it seems that you stream video from the site for a monthly or annual subscription. 25$ to access this video isnt really expensive. I would really recommend a video tutorial rather than a book…you tend to learn faster when you actually see someone do it (since you said you need to learn asap).

If the online training at lynda.com doesnt really appeal you, just search the net for “learning 3ds max dvd” im sure theres plenty of video tutorials on the subject.
