Is it possible to create using the "Select Object" Tool in 3ds max? Because I think that would be faster than selecting each vertex 1 by 1.

Also is there a forum for 3ds max to ask these kind of questions?

To start u should learn this.

Do you have that post saved somewere so you can just past it in to answer peoples questions? Because you should.

Thanks for the huge list of tutorials!

I already know how to do that. I was meaning if you could create by dragging you know the selection box that little box that you get when you hold down the mouse button.

Yeah, its called using the box creation tool in primitives. You can create boxes with it, and change its shape after converting it to an editable mesh and moving its vertices into your desired shape.

thanx anyway i guess i'm not a good explainer oh well i don't really need it, and I think everybody already knows that k9colin atleast everybody that's used 3ds max before
