I think Blog got a lil mixed up ddruckenmiller...according to your error messages, the program DOES NOT like tris (3 sided polys) nor does it like ngons (or polys with more than 4 sides). You ALMOST ALWAYS want to maintain quads when modeling however, importing it into 3dmax which usually has no probs with "non-quads", you shouldnt get that error message...but who knows good lookin model thus far
