A word of warning and advice, since it's 3dsMax you are choosing for your modeling, try your hardest NOT to use booleans in Max. If you want to know why, just take a stroll over to the 3dsMax forum and ask around. Try to do as much research as you can about logical modelling, and go into a project with a good working knowledge of some of the other techniques to get good results without booleans. Booleans are quick and easy, but they suck in 3dsMax, and can really screw up an otherwise perfectly good model. Good luck! (BTW, the 3dsMax 5 Bible is a great book).
