This should probably be moved to the RTW section since it's tutorial links rather than a taught course.

But I don't go over there. Maybe if you make a Subforum in the Academy for Tutorials like these.

Well yesh, but if you don't go in the RTW section it's unlikely you'll want RTW specific tutorials, which all of these are.

For that matter, if you're not looking at RTW stuff then you probably wouldn't get 3ds max as it's damned expensive.

Its free for students, or was at least :3 . But yeah, this thread should be in the RTW tutorials section.

I got it for free when they were giving it away for free a few months ago.
