Could anyone direct me to a good guide (or three) for learning how to model 3D humanoid characters in 3D Studio Max? I am a pretty good sketch artest, but 3D modeling is a whole 'nother beast. My initial attempts have been disasterous! :o
3d max comes with a comprehensive set of tutorials which includes character modelling and animation too. have you looked at them ?
I use Blender, but I use a cube, subdividing, extrusion and smoothing. I start with the head. You can make anything by starting with a cube. Sphere's waste too many poly's.

I am embarassed to say I didn't even think of looking there :D Those are some good tutorials -- now I kind of know what I was doing wrong. Thanks!
