I think you're right with that one. I forgot that a tube is a Standard Primitive.

Titan speaks the truth, extrusion is a very important aspect of modelling, and to imagine the mesh as a lump of clay that can be moulded is definitely the way forward. Just creating random objects and merging them together is inefficient and messy, but learning the more complex methods will come to you later.

One thing I will say though :

Editable Poly > Editable Mesh

Editable Poly not only has more advanced tools than the Editable Mesh variations, it also has tools extremely useful for 3D modelling that Editable Mesh does not have.

My advice for learning GMax / 3D Studio Max is to start small, but don't create random objects, instead try and mould the mesh into something simple to create and appealing to the eye.

By the looks of the image above you're familiar with vert movement, and polygon extrusion as well as the obvious basic mesh movement. Try and model something like this (7.62 Nato Round) :

Are you familiar with Planar modelling?

I'd be up for a match on Tuesday.

Cabal is synonymous with Nod.

Got my hands on the Kane Edition. It definitely captures the true C&C feel, that's for sure. My only complaint is, how did Kane fix his face up and where the fuck is Cabal?

Any details / teasers about the supposed Red Alert - Tiberian Dawn connection?

[C&C 3 , who's got it?]

Good enough for me. I'm gonna get it ASAP.

So it's worth getting then, it captures the true C&C feel?
