Hi all,

Well, this is my first 3D model, created using Autodesk 3DS Max 8 (Huge investment!). Its for a game thats currently in production, and will involve lots of fast paced racing action.

Its not been textured yet, which is the next step, so any help or tutorials on this would be brilliant.

Let me know what you think!

Seems an alright model. Will have to wait for that texture.

Cant be your first 3D Model, i mean you must have had some other modeling package b4 investing in something as expensive as max.

Hey looks great for a start and yes i find it hard to believe that you started out with 3ds max 8.. Whats the poly count on that?

Its got just over 20,000, and whilst texturing it, i'm looking at ways to reduce this.

I have used other 3D modelling programs; Maya and 3D Canvas. I've been using 3DS Max for about 3-4 weeks now, and it was bought for a work related reason, i've created a number of simple models, but nothing very serious like this one.
