I can stay focused as long time as long as everything is going smoothly. When I hit a snag, I soon lose interest.

Monkey boy, please post your chess piece, I would love to see it.

Have already made another topic about it, which can be found here - http://www.max-realms.com/modules/new ... ost_id=4104#forumpost4104

Hope you like it.

very nice! have you used any other CG software, or is max your first? the chess piece looks really good.

Not really. Have looked at Blender and used that for maybe a week but found it rather confusing, so Max is pretty much the first one I've used.

Thanks, glad you liked it. I've only been using Max for about a month so I've done pretty good for a beginner.

Just wait until you start to get into animation, you will love it!

Yes, you've done very well for a beginner! Keep at it.

Yeah I've sorta gotten into animations, nothing major, just basic muck around stuff. Made an exploding cupboard last night but it's too fast so gotta fix that up. That's pretty much it so far lol...

Yeah, I don't plan on quitting anytime soon.

I was right there where you are about 8 years ago! It was so much fun to make my creations "do something!". What method did you use to explode it?

Hey Dave, I used pArray/Particle Flow. Was a little challenging but I was following a tutorial. The final output turned out rather good.
