No worries, its just an SFX Rar. Everybody doesnt have winrar, and it has the best compression so i made it self extracting.

I tried making a map before, but I got lost before I even started. Even though I probably won't map, I'll still watch this to see how it's done.

BTW, downloadin pretty fast: http://img346.imageshack.us/img346/1012/ggss7.jpg
that's 20 secs after I started downloadin'

That's pretty much what I wanted to say Smile Well done. I haven't done much mapping and am not really planning to, but I'm sure it will be useful sometime Smile

Great little tutorial. Big Ups A must watch for beginners!

Tips: Press "o" (the letter) in max to stop the meshes from becoming "boxes" when you arc rotate and move in the viewport. Also, when vertex painting, don't select any of the tools, just the 2nd button at the top (in the dialog) and paint brush like you did on the second time you painted.

I learned a lot as well. My car models will be way better now that I know of the connect tool. One thing though is when you either hit your mouth on the mic or like... sighed on it, it shook my room. I had my stereo up really loud to hear you clearly and then you made that sound and my room mate was like wholly shit, I felt that. lol Not a big problem just something that happened.
