I really never used it,so could you guys give me some advice on how to use it??? I can create some stuff in it,but not much. How do create hyte-maps in 2d,and then forg them with a 3d scene in 3ds max 4???

I would suggest starting with the tutorials that come with the program. As to creating textures and maps for specific 3D applications, I would recommend asking in the forums for that program as they are all a little different.

Thanks for all your help!

Get a good manual from a bookstore (there are plenty, so choose carefully) - I find it's much easier to follow instructions when you're holding them in your hand rather than flipping from screen to screen.

Thanks for the advice,I think I saw an interesting book at barns&noble.
