Things every new user need to know about modeling in 3ds max

Some common Questions i get about 3DS max

1. what version of 3DS max do you need? if you are an architect or want to do architecture get 3DS max design if you want to model games characters or make organic shapes use the regular 3DS max. now what is the difference? not very much except that 3ds max has lighting analysis capabilities and 3DS max regular does not. 3DS max regular has a software development functionality if you want to add more functionality to 3DS via programming. I leave that alone. but honestly you can use any version you choose because the extra functionality is for very advanced users. I would recommend the latest version of 3ds max 3ds max 2013 or 3DS max Design 2013 because it makes modelling easier because of the new orbit functionality and it is more intuitive for a new user and i will demonstrate in the video below. This was very frustrating for me and now things have become alot simpler.
