Re: Which one is the best....
Also, love the one your with. Your new girlfriend (Maya) doesn't want to hear how awesome your old boyfriend (Max) was. Same goes for coworkers they don't want to hear it either. Even if they are kindred spirits they don't want to listen to the new guy moan about XYZ app for the first month. When and if you ask how to do… -

Re: Sniper Rifle
Getting people to think about good thoughtful real world, functional design isn't really a bad thing. It's one thing to make something that looks badass, and its another to make something badass that's functional.

Re: Creating holes and insets in a mesh
It looks like he's probably selecting the polys holding ctrl and clicking the vert icon in edit poly to transfer the selection, then welding, then on the single remaining vert runs chamfer to get the circle. Personally for an arch like that, I start off with a half circle, extrude the edges once, flatten them with "Make… -

After having had a chance to try out max again (v. 9) I actually think max is a terrible mess.… -
Re: Next gen texturing techniques
Pet Peeve: Next gen, refers to the NEXT generation, not the current generation. Your thread title is asking for advice on tech that hasn't been invented yet. It's a buzz term that needs to die...
