Hi, guys.  Some good news for Blender users!  I went into Blender this morning and created the Starburst shape, just to be sure it could be done in that application as my friend suggested.  It's a few more steps than I thought, but here's how you would go about doing it:

• Create a hallow cylinder (this is done simply by creating a cylinder without end caps.
• Apply a solidify modifier, and adjust it to about the same shape as my tube in 3dsmax video.
• Remove all but the top end cap, and subdivide it once.
• Add a Subsurf modifier with 1 iteration of subdivision
• Add a Decimate modifier with 1 iteration under Un-Subdivide (that part is important)

Verify you have the starburst phyllotaxis pattern on your edges in Wireframe mode, then you are safe to collapse the stack, and proceed along with the video tutorial.  Everything else in the tutorial should be about the same as it is in 3dsmax.
