Great Video Training on 3ds Max Modeling

If you’re looking for a solid in depth demonstration of the various modeling techniques inside 3ds Max, you should give this video training DVD serious consideration. At over 13 hours in length, 3ds Max 9 Modeling offers insights and techniques that most books on the subject don’t cover, and information that would many times take hours in the Help files to find. The Chapters are well organized and the topics are addressed in plenty of detail. If you’re into watching someone demonstrate something as opposed to having to read how to do it, get this DVD. The pace moves quickly at times, but the author is very easy to follow (plus you can always rewind and watch it again). A great addition to any modeling enthusiast’s video library!

I wish there were 0 stars

This is basically a video version of the 3DSMax help file. The video actually has the author navigating to the help file and reading right from the text.
