Hey guys, no need to "jump" ship. My rule of thumb is that you cannot beat a free software, gmax also allows spline modeling, If anyone ever wants to experiment with that. Unfortunately gmax only open *.gmax files but for you modelers out there bottom line is that you cannot again beat a free product. If you play videogames, you may end up downloading gmax anyway for some upcoming games. For Quake III players, gmax allows you to easily make your models. Bottom line is grab the sucker now since it up there for free before discreet thinks twice and decide to put a price tag on it :)

No problem litst. Yeah I downloaded and checked it out briefly last night wyrwulf. Played a little with it just to check out the UI and modeling option. Good question about the export formmats litst? to tell you the truth I do not know. Unless some one beats me to it by the time I get home from work tonight, I'll fire gmax up and check out the import export options with some of my .3ds files

Less than $100 huh?? I'll browse around and If I need to reconsider my original price than I shall. Thanks for the downlow folks. As far as the money for Maya goes, I will be getting a Student version from JourneyEd.com $750 for Maya complete. I have 3 more years to go in school so I should be able to save up for Full versions by the time I graduate (why kill my self working trying to pay for full versions when I do not even know how to use the prog yet). The trick is 2 jobs, Federal Government during the Day and Night club Bouncer on Weekend nights (sometimes If I get a beer bar I'll make $300 cash at the end of the night in tips).

Syyd Raven purchased it from me, as a matter of fact I got my funds and Syyd Got her prog today. Thanks again for putting in a good word for me. LOL and Peace Serge PS- How are you feeling? I got the news on Grandma, P.S. email me at my hotmail address and let me know If everyone doing Okay back home.

Okay then Lasha, just email me at bigserge29@hotmail.com I need your mailing addres. It's $100+ $5 I do not think it would be that much for 2-3 day shipping and handlig. Syyd back out so It's yours, this has already been registered.

You can always let the T-Map do the hair illusion? applied to a separate form of mesh. Exp: select the vertices that make up the area that the hair will be, duplicate then reposition the Duplicate along the Z axis about a .05"'s then resize along all axis 105 or 110%. Next reposition selected vertices of the duplicate using the sphere of attraction to achieve the desired look, and finally it's all up to the T-Map you've made in your 2D paint program. Check the tutorials section on this site on how to make realistic looking hair VIA T-Map. Sorry I do not remember where it is but it was a really good one. Love and Peace Serge

I can give it a shot translating the tutorial from french. Serge
