Quote -  Yeah right now I can make a geometric shape and change it slightly, but clothing is way different than a box or ball. 

Which version of Max are you using?  I know in later ones there was a Garment tool.  It's been a long time since I used it but I remember it being quite good, and reasonably well explained in the Max Help section.

Basically you lay out a flat pattern, just like a taylors blueprint, using splined shapes.  You can then turn those into cloth panels and use the garment modifier to stitch them together around your figure.  it then runs a kinda shrinkwrap on them, using the seams you define to pull the cloth panels onto the model (V4 or whatever).

Have a peek in your helpfile that max comes with, I'm sure if you search for "garment" you'll find it.
