1: Open photoshop and draw some damn shapes.
 -------------------------------------------------- 2: Make things a little interesting...  -------------------------------------------------- 3: Copy and paste everything and paste it into a new alpha layer.  -------------------------------------------------- 4: Press and hold ctrl and click on the alpha layer so it is selected like so.  -------------------------------------------------- 5: Click the paths tab and click "Make work path" from the drop list.  -------------------------------------------------- 6: Go to file>export>paths to illustrator and save the .ai file anywhere you can remember.  -------------------------------------------------- 7: Open 3ds max and go to file>import. And select the .ai file we recently selected  -------------------------------------------------- 8: The import options are pretty strait forward here.  -------------------------------------------------- 9: And now we have the paths in 3ds max as splines that can be extruded, and used when modeling.  -------------------------------------------------- 10: Be creative!  -------------------------------------------------- |
