I modeled these in maya. I don't know shit about max, honestly. I just use it to render. These are all extrudes and manual vertex manipulation, pretty basic stuff.

My stuff is rather simple in design compared to everyone else's stuff, but I think I'll post a few of my models here. They looked much better in my drawings before I tried to make them in Blender. I can't really do texture work or anything, so I just use the colors for now. This is an unfinished one, doesn't even have a name yet, but it was started as a joke between me and one of my friends, we jokingly call it the Semi-Mobile Missile Tower. It just needs color right now I think. [url=http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i271/the_peacemaker/Iron/SMMT-Unfinished5.png]Picture[/url] Here's an updated version of the Spire Cruiser that's appearing in my mod whenever I get myself to working on it again. [url=http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i271/the_peacemaker/Iron/IWE/IWESpire3-25-08.png]Picture[/url] This is the GX-3c and it is a hero only unit in my mod, had to redo the legs a lot to get it this way. [url=http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i271/the_peacemaker/Iron/IWE/IWEGX-3c.png]Picture[/url] The EFF Zero Bomber, a long-range bomber that is meant to be easy to repair and reload because of its detachable parts and removable missile loading racks. [url=http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i271/the_peacemaker/Iron/EFF-UEF/EFFZeroBomber.png]Picture[/url] Okay, this one is still a work in progress, not even sure if I'm going to keep it looking like this, but it is kind of a recreation of something in my own style. Originally I asked RazorClawX for permission to use the Iron Claw sprite from Final Destiny of the VotF series (the one that first inspired me to mod when I was still in seventh grade, maybe sixth, can't remember) and I also asked if there was a copy of the model I could use for cinematics and such for my mod because I was planning to do those at the time. I had never gotten a reply, so after many failed attempts, I have created my own version of the Iron Claw for my mod.

I found using blender was easy and there was an online tutorial with pictures, steps, explained almost everything. Try out that for starters in my opinion.

Yeah, the gradients are me being stupid. I set the VRAY's to 10000 photons and 200 bounces that's why it looks so lighty and stuff. When it rendered I almost confuse it with some sort of flying mega-mall or something lighty as it. I was just experimenting with vray renderer :D

Also, I think NJ is a bit confused. Autodesk was the original owner of Maya and bought 3ds max, who was previously owned by Discreet. I also find Max's interface to be completely overwhelming.

I don't have a say in this cause I've never played with maya that much. But I find max pretty damm easy to get, I wouldn't know how can it get easier but if you say maya is then I guess you can make it more simple than max. :P [quote=name:NexY]I was browsing through that, got up to importing objects, it told me to import from a folder that was suppose to come with the install, but there is none D:?

I just ignored that when I had downloaded it and still learned like that. I, then, got a legal copy :D You don't really need all the objects they say. You can just do the tutorials on a sphere or box and you'll be learning and so..

Well I've tried to use max for nearly 8 years and never had much success in figuring out the basics. Maya is a little similar to Rhino which is where I made models for ITAS ect in so the transition was a bit rough but doable. I don't exactly have store-bought max versions but they all contained the tutorial materials.
