Heh... that google comment wasn't meant as a dig on your forum searching.. just that when I searched the forum for '3d coat' I got nothing, but searching google for '3d coat polycount' I got the thread first try.
polycount wiki Cg tuts plus eat3d 3d motive next gen hard surface 3d palace Experiment with the tools yourself once your fairly comfortable with the basics. Hope this helps get you started, best of luck.
First model I've made in 3D max. Not sure if it is good or not for a beginner but hopefully it is a start. Thinking about finding some textures to put on the house to get familiar with the material editor. Polycount 1,067. Criticism is appreciated.
if anyone wants to help with the contest, WELL SPLIT THE PRIZE MONEY! but really, what I like about this one is, "Any and all 3D characters, 3D environments and images created by Polycount Member’s for this contest are owned solely by the artist" thats sweet! :)

haha my earliest experience of polycount was just skins... I was 14 and didnt even know that polycount was all about forums and community ...I thought it was all about quake 3 skins back then! I only joined now that Im getting into 3D work myself.
Hey all first post on polycount, currently working on a low poly beam blade that could be used in a futuristic, sci-fi setting. maybe replacing a traditional police baton with the energy beam. 3DS Max 8 Plan to use normal maps, diffuse maps, and specular maps to create the textures.
