Disconnected from your work?
You ever just feel disconnected from your work? Sometimes when Im working in max its just feels too distant, like if I had a 3d visor and some sort of glove or something to actually hold and model it would be better. Am I making sense? It just feels to primative, I just think the whole model making process could be better and damnit I hate using a mouse but its the best tool. If I could use my fingers in mid air or something, just flip an objest around without having to select the rotate tools like have hotkeys in the palm. Im having a hard time explaining. Anyone else feel the same way?
A better way to explain it is, I love pens and pencils and mice and keyboards and even tablets feel like bad tools for the kind of work we do.

Also, try to model with a tablet, not just the mouse.
+ Use as much freeform modelling solutions (raw sculpt+retopo) whenever you can.
Maybe do some more oldschool texturing too ?
no - in fact it would love to ban mouse and co for modeling and work directly with my hands
3DCoat+Mudbox+Topogun ... at least you've got everything organics covered, one hand on the stylus the other on the keyboard, and good tunes to top it off!

modelling should be fluent and natural.
